Not so fast though! You need to accept the terms of service first.
uBlock is the way
I just block the Google analytics Javascript using NoScript.
And DNS
You guys aren’t using ublock???
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
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
Ooh, a printer friendly version! Let me just go ahead and print that bad boy out!
My gosh, it’s so rare I have a chance to use my printer, thanks for sharing. 🤣

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.

Oh agreed, I actually do use uBlock
Isn’t a GDPR requirement opt-in by default?
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
or disable js in your browser settings
and that extension is called ublock origin
Google is bullshit.
