Ask HN: Is there any way to fix the new Google Analytics UI?

5 points by debacle 4y ago

It looks like Google has rolled out a very anti-user update to Analytics. We have a report on traffic by URL broken out by query string that we use weekly. Right now that report is unusable, and if I try and query I can only query by page title, not URL and definitely not query string. Is there a way to revert this update, or tell Google "I know what a URL is, please stop this."

Why do you insist on using Google?

  My impression is that the web analytics space is not very competitive.

  that might fix many things but not the ui.

  We use matomo, but we also make use of Google Analytics and a few other tools as well.
