About:
This tool installs a browser extension that instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) not to send visitor data to Google Analytics servers. It provides a lightweight, official method for users to opt-out of data collection across websites without modifying browser settings extensively. The primary value is enhancing user privacy by preventing tracking without requiring complex configurations.
Key Features:
  • Official Google-provided opt-out mechanism
  • Works across all modern browsers
  • Simple one-click installation via Homebrew
  • No impact on browser performance
Use Cases:
  • Privacy-conscious users opting out of Google Analytics tracking
  • Developers testing analytics-free environments
  • Compliance with strict data privacy regulations
Alternatives:
  • uBlock Origin – Broader ad/tracker blocker, not specific to Google Analytics opt-out
  • Privacy Badger – General privacy extension, auto-blocks trackers
