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

- Jorengarenar 5y agoOne 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.
