User reviews

It's good - but is flagged as incompatible with Chrome and will be removed...

It would be useful to declare how this is making the blocking. It may be too broad. Because we discovered that it blocked many other things than GA. For instance, it blocks Cookieyes Consent management. Which might cause legal issues down the line. It seems to also block GTM events or other cookie management on the site. For instance our site create special cookies based on the landing URL. Those cookies were not set. So if the DEV would explain what is happening, or give options to only block GA, but not the other it would make this more transparent and more usable/legal.

Our team uses this all the time (thank you, by the way--we also recommend it to colleagues)! We are getting a similar message to the reviewer blow, "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Should we watch this space for updates? FYI I tried to use the Contact form on your site, but it's not working. Thanks again!
