uBlock is the way
Mwa@thelemmy.club · 80 pts · 138d
I just block the Google analytics Javascript using NoScript.

Technically uBlock is still an extension.
If you really wanted to block Google analytics without installing an extension, it could presumably be done via hosts file edits or with a custom DNS server.

Even in the most nerdy of nerdville, there are nerdier nerds than nerds can imagine. They don't run uBlock, for they run NoScript.

You guys aren’t using ublock???
NannerBanner@literature.cafe · 14 pts · 137d
You guys aren't using noscript and blocking the analytics script from even running?

uBlock origin blocks it from even downloading, so it can't even try to run
NannerBanner@literature.cafe · 3 pts · 137d
Mate, I have ublock origin, and the website still tries to run google analytics.

But can't...

Oh I am, I was just worried that the webstite I was visiting would still make tracking cookies. Probably the best option is Ublock + incognito mode
gabelstapler@feddit.org · 26 pts · 138d
So the website no longer tracks you, but the add-on tracks on which websites you've been?

Yep. It's google. It's cancer

Isn't a GDPR requirement opt-in by default?
DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 137d
or disable js in your browser settings
hemmetti@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 137d
Google is bullshit.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 137d

javasux@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 137d
FYI PrivacyBadger
herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 95d
