Remove Google Analytics #1546

Closed resynth1943 closed 4 years ago

Would you be willing to remove this Google Analytics 'functionality' from this website? There are better alternatives if you must keep tabs on users' activity.

Some reputable alternatives can be seen here: https://switching.software/replace/google-analytics/

Oh, awesome! @perrygovier thanks for providing no explanation :-)

Google Analytics is pretty fundamental to web development. It's an industry standard, something the vast majority of websites use and depend on and we're no different. I'm not sure we would be able to survive as a company without some way of knowing what our users are most interested in. I've looked into the alternatives and they're just not ready for prime time yet. I'm with you on wanting to protect user's privacy, but I feel GA is a relatively minor threat and something we cannot go without until a viable alternative takes shape.

Are you sure about that?
