While clicking around a website’s privacy policy, I found an option “if you don’t want us or Google to use analytics, click here” more or less.

It’s Google own opt out extension, https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Is it that simple to block sites use of Google analytics? I mean, otherwise, are Privacy Badger or Port Authority doing the same thing, just not Google’s tool? Is Google’s a honeypot or Trojan horse you think?

    Anything Google can go to hell. Use a combination of uBlock Origin (expert mode), disable 3rd party cookies, and Cookie AutoDelete.

      Privacy badger is from EFF so I’ll trust them to block cookies and hidden trackers. I’m sure it’s accomplishing the same thing. Ublock has made a good name for itself though too, no doubt.
