I find moving away from GA to be really cringe.
It's not like Google can't get all the data it wants from the people using Chrome.
All GA really does is ensure the non-Chrome users get captured by Google.
And -- more importantly -- give you insight into what Google sees on your site.
So if you turn off GA... sure you sort of hinder Google... in that Google gets maybe 10% less usage data from your users (at most 10%).
But you take away your ability to see what they see about you.
Google is still 90%+ of search traffic. So moving away from GA just feels like putting your head in the sand.
So I don't know, I mean I get that you don't want to be tracked, and have your data shared, but that's not what moving away from GA solves.
I don't know what moving away from GA solves.
