As someone who runs a website and is a Firefox user, I have mixed feelings about this.
So now nobody who uses Firefox will be part of my statistics. There might be a million people like me visiting my website tomorrow and I won't notice. My website might have a 90% bounce rate among my fellow Firefox users and I won't notice.
Now I wonder if I should ditch GA completely and look for a different solution. Since my site is delivered via a CDN, that would probably mean capturing raw logs via the CDN and then downloading and analyzing them locally with some software I would have to install? Damn, that feels so 90s :) And it would be quite a lot of work to switch to the new process.
- duiker101 7y agoHonestly, I recently moved from GA to a self hosted Matomo in an effort to stop using Google as much as I can and I am very happy. For a power user it might not be enough but for me, just to have a general idea about the usage of my (small) websites, I am very happy.
- thekyle 7y agoThis kind of reminds me of how power users often disable analytics but then get upset when companies remove power user features because the analytics show that nobody uses them.
