Chrome is restricting fingerprinting, but they still ship google analytics in the browser itself so it's harder to block.

They'll only really block fingerprinting in their browser when they have no use for it.

Source for the claim of google analytics in the browser itself?
I do not see connections on my network to google when I open and browse to 3rd party sites.

Can you show me that's true? If it is, that's fairly interesting.

Look in the inspector of a page using GA, and you’ll see it’s served from within the browser, rather than as a download from the network.
First I'm hearing of this. Citation?
