I recommend Plausible analytics, open source (AGPL) as well.

Okay, please show me how to opt out of Google analytics when I use the browser with the largest market share (Chrome), on a platform with the largest market share (Android). Both are owned and controlled by Google.

You sure, the opt-out is not working? At least in the EU, where an opt-in is legally required, GA is not a problem.

But wait, there's more: usually publishers bind the usage of their free offer to the acceptance of GA. Gotcha.

I can't opt out. Chrome on android doesn't allow extensions/toolbars

If the context of this thread is Analytics, do you need to ask? Why not check it first?
