I suspect you’re right. I didn’t understand either until your latest post.
This probably still applies. Many people don’t care (me for instance) and those that do are free to protect themselves as you have.
I don’t know enough about the comparative pros and cons of Matamo vs. GA. Do you know of any good articles? GA is a pretty fundamental tool for a huge portion of our customer base, many don’t have the choice, so we won’t remove it but I guess we could potentially add another option if enough people would like it.
