A quick scan of the EasyPrivacy list reveals partial or full blocking of the JavaScript trackers and/or event collection endpoints of the following YC-backed SaaS analytics companies:
- Mixpanel (17 matches)
- Heap (heapanalytics.com^$third-party only)
- Segment (11 matches)
Disclaimer: co-founder of Snowplow Analytics, a first-party event analytics platform (https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow). I see 2 entries in the list related to Snowplow, and 26 for Piwik (https://github.com/piwik/piwik https://github.com/piwik/piwik), another first-party solution.
- frik 11y agoThat EasyPrivacy apparently even blocks self hosted first-parts solutions is really bad. They are the good guys.
- alexatkeplar 11y agoWell, any blocking of self-hosted first-party analytics is easily circumvented by the site owner: you just rename the JavaScript Tracker filename to something new (or even safer, just minify the code into your own JS bundle), and put a new CNAME on your event collector.
