awesome-analytics VS hosts

This is a great list of everything available Awesome Analytics. But I just wondered if anyone had been through a similar exercise that could help me get to a short list...I'm a bit biased towards things I already know and use...

Anything under here might help.

Matomo, plausible, goatcounter, shynet, umami, simple analytics. These are just the ones I know off the top of my head. Not all of these are cookie-less AFAIK. There are also lists like this.

And many more: https://github.com/0xnr/awesome-analytics

Not a lawyer.

If you do not need GA why use it? It is a separate connection your visitors browser needs to open and it is a connection to a third party. If you want analytics, there are some privacy options, for example Umami. See also here: https://github.com/0xnr/awesome-analytics

You could also disable the Nginx logs from logging IP addresses and then you should be fine.

Maybe adding a simple site saying that you do not retain any IPs or other information, you can prevent these emails in the future.

You can find here a huge list:

Not by default but a blocklist can be found here https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

While it is now unblocked, the Steven Black list has been blocking a lot of innocent CDNs.

How does this compare to using a hosts file with known ad servers?

like: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

The no-tracking project used by RaspAP is shutting down, so we took the opportunity to search for open source blocklist alternatives. Among the best is Steven Black's hosts list: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

No idea, api.radar.io is on the block list since January 2020.

The commit's comment is "major update from adaway.org"

You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
