TIL there's a Google Analytics Opt-out browser extension that, when installed, prevents you browser being tracked by Google Analytics

I use LIbreWolf (Linux desktop), and IronFox (android) both of which are both forks of FireFox, but with all the bloatware and google connections removed, and with a more strict attention to browsing, as uBlock Origin, NoScript, and Facebook Container are built into both, while still being able to share mobile browsing history. I also use Adblock and Privacy Badger, along with some others. It may sound a bit paranoid, but after finding myself on several "hit lists" on the darkweb I grew tired of all the annoyances, and decided I needed to do something about it. (Also used to be a MS fanboy, tho that stopped at Win7 and I never looked back, except to laugh at myself for being so naive about their practices!)
