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

> we continue to offer users control over sharing their activity with Google Analytics.

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

What are you using Amplitude for?

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

Because Amplitude‘s product offerings aren’t exactly 1:1 to Google Analytics.

Exactly this. Amplitude is not a 1:1 substitute for Google Analytics.
