In the same way that online ads have really started to feel the hurt from AdBlockers, I think that trackers are next on that list. There was a really big discussion of uBlock on HN the other day - which blocks Segment, similarly AdBlockPlus (when blocking trackers) does as well.
At this point it's a little more than an annoyance, but it's not hard to imagine a future where these things are baked into browsers and/or legislature puts some hefty restrictions onto them.

Has anyone else who serves enterprise customers noticed this? If this trend has real legs, we'd need to move back towards server side analytics.
