True. There's one thing that concerns me. Google Analytics is just not the solution because we don't get data ownership. Then, these privacy analytics are coming. First, Fathom then some copies. But, all claims "No consent needed. Track your users without letting them know".

It's not how it should be. Analytics solutions should have built-in options to allow users to opt-out (precisely, an embeddable in-built opt-out banner).

Personally, I don't like tracking my activities. I use tracker blockers to prevent that. Yet, these solutions are promotion custom domains (CNAME cloaking), which even Google Analytics does.

When will have the option to fully opt-out from tracking?

If a Chrome or Firefox dev reading this comment, what about introducing a tracking allowance API and allow users to opt-in and opt-out for tracking in the browser level. A really privacy-first analytics solution would be one that respects user's browser tracking settings.

It's my opinion.
