Show HN: Privacy-first boring utils in one place (boringutils.com)

There's a very noticeable delay when navigating (~600-700ms), also not very "privacy-first" when you're injecting Google Analytics


Thanks for looking into it! I will look into the delay.

In regards to google analytics, it helps me understand what users are using more and how to improve the experience - I wouldn't use it if these events weren't anonymized and were collecting more data than necessary.

Having said that, whatever data you input into the utils available will definitely not leave the browser, which I found to be a major concern for a lot of users.

I will never trust this statement when Google Analytics is injected.


What other analytic tools do you trust that do a similar job? Happy to consider alternatives.
