But you can't avoid google analytics..
- Fnoord 10y agoWhy not? There's loads of options. Some examples include uBlock, NoScript, /etc/hosts
- chimeracoder 10y ago> But you can't avoid google analytics.. That's the easiest to avoid. Ghostery, or a simple edit to your /etc/hosts file. The problem is that tracking is much more pervasive, and there are many more ways you can be tracked that are much harder to block than Google Analytics.
- smokeyj 10y agoWhat about for iOS? Sure there's more pervasive methods, but I doubt any are as ubiquitous as GA. My ghostery plugin shows GA for nearly every website I visit.
- cmdrfred 10y agoAdblock works on Android.
- detaro 10y agoI thought iOS browsers' adblockers can at least do domain-based blocking, which is enough for the typcial GA case?
- Fnoord 10y agoThere are adblockers for iOS, but not for old versions of iOS and I think 32 bit versions of iOS don't work with it. IIRC Apple has allowed it since 9.0.
- JamieF1 10y agoDoesn't ublock block requests to the likes of GA?
- mastazi 10y agoTry Privacy Badger, made by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It protects you from many trackers, not only Google's, for example it disables the tracking capabilities of Facebook like buttons. https://www.eff.org/privacybadger https://www.eff.org/privacybadger
