Opt-out for Analytics™

Prevents the Google Analytics and Tag Manager's JavaScript APIs from collecting data and recording the user
What is Opt-out for Analytics™?
Opt-out for Analytics™ is an Edge add-on that adds an object to webpages, requesting Google Analytics API to not track the user. This unique approach differs from adblocker scripts as it peacefully interacts with 'ga.js', 'analytics.js', and 'dc.js' to prevent user tracking. The extension functions for both Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts, thereby preventing these popular analytic scripts from obtaining user data. When a tracking attempt is foiled, a visual clue is shown via a colorful page action button.
