   Happy Paying User :)

   I've been using plausible since Sep 2019 and never had any doubts about it. It provides me with everything I need related to visitor stats while keeping privacy in first place.

   It doesn't slow down my website loading speed (it's amazing, it's less than 1KB in size!), is not blocked by adblockers since it's not really a tracker tracker, and owners are super cool and they actually respond to every inquiry you could possibly have.

   If you're looking for de-googling your stuff, you can start with Plausible :)

   Plausibly simple analytics!

   I tried several analytics tools prior to Plausible, namely Google Analytics and later on Matomo. I found both to be fairly complicated for my usage which is a personal blog. Complicated in the way I had to install and use them. Plausible's simple to set up approach combined with a very clean and inviting user interface was a breath of fresh air. It's simple and clean enough that it actually makes me want to check and analyse my traffic which is a feeling I never thought I'd have having tried alternatives.

   Excellent alternative to google analytics

   It offers clear information about what I really need, without distractions, without advertising and does not slow my site.

• Google is deprecating Google Surveys

  That's something else. It's (it was) a marketing product. > Google Surveys is a market research tool that allows you to easily create online surveys in order to make more informed business decisions. Users complete survey questions in order to access high quality content around the web, See https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/surveys/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• This person just posted an ad that asked them about DLC they planned on buying. Mario Party Superstars was listed with three other games on the Switch that already have DLC. Is this a good sign that we are getting Mario Party Superstars DLC?

  I had assume it was Google itself because I hadn't heard of surveys being part of the AdWords program, but a quick google search showed I was wrong about that. However, I stand by my assessment that the inconsistency between the answers indicate it was an "AI Generated" question. (One option is a named DLC, another is a generic " DLC" answer, and the other two are just the base games' names). Source: over 2 years ago

• Any Google Analytics Alternatives?

  I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents. For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past. For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• We need to Speak about Google Code Quality

  I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
