    Google Analytics Proxy

  • Worth noting that if you're already willing to setup a first-party proxy like Plausible does in this comparison, you can do the same thing with Google Analytics with either the NYPL project [1] or send your own data to the Google Measurement Protocol API [2].

  • tracker-control-android

    TrackerControl Android: monitor and control trackers and ads.

  • Pretty much - and there's a nice app developed by an Oxford student that does this for Android: https://trackercontrol.org

    It works very well, I highly recommend it.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

    Easy web analytics. No tracking of personal data.

  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • addons-frontend

    Front-end to complement mozilla/addons-server

  • If you're referring to Firefox using Google Analytics for the Firefox Add-ons frontend, as of July 2017, Firefox has disabled Google Analytics for any browser that has Do Not Track enabled.

    This change was made in response to pressure from HN readers, so thanks to everyone for that.

  • fdroiddata

  • I don't recall ever having heard about Blokada before, but looking it up now it doesn't seem recommended: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/8536

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
