  My bad, but the original premise still stands

    No it doesn't.

      Care to elaborate? Not sure why the HN title changed

  I see where the disconnect was: the article had a subtitle of "68% of laptop and desktop users block Google Analytics" Yet, their stated cause ("how difficult it is to install an adblocker on Chrome") refers to mobile users A logic shift there - a bait and switch? Not sure if this is an error, or outright manipulation This puts the entire article's credibility in question Proof: in case they modify it like they did in HN's title 1.

    One sentence says that mobile users block GA less than desktop users. The following sentence states it makes sense since installing add-ons on most popular mobile browser is difficult. Context matters: >At the device level, laptop and desktop users (68.2%) block Google Analytics more frequently than mobile and tablet users (49.9%). >This makes sense especially considering how difficult it is to install an adblocker on Chrome, the most popular browser on mobile devices.
