User reviews

Thanks for creating this, James! Sometimes the DataLayer on the right misses the page_view event but registers in the event list. Is that because it never enters the DataLayer or is this a timing bug in your extension?

Seems to work good except it does not work for sites where the GA4 tag is inserted via Google Tag Manager so I deducted a star.

Great to track the existing events and learning from the other websites.
