Looks neat but wish it wasn't sending user data to Google Analytics of all places.

What do you suggest they do instead?

		What do they need Google Analytics for? Is it a must-have or a nice to have? In my experience most small website owners have web analytics setup but barely ever check the reports. Some alternatives: `* don't have web analytics at all * self-host a Plausible Analytics or other open source analytics solution * use the data from server-side access logs (for those using nginx, apache or other similar solutions) * use Vercel web analytics' free tier (relevant for kanadojo which appears to be hosted there) - more privacy friendly than Google Analytics.`

		simpleanalytics is also a good alternative and they have a free tier
