Suggestion: steem.rocks remove Google Analytics

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

Components

https://steem.rocks is one of the leading steem blockchain profile explorer, where users can analyse profiles, discover witnesses and follow the activities on the STEEM blockchain.

Proposal

Currently there is Google Analytics included in thies webpage.
As there is no gain or need for users of this website to be profiled by Google as a third party and advertisments are not displayed, there also doesn't seem to be any gain for the owner of this site by leaking user profile data to Google, it could just be dropped and removed.

Mockups / Examples

Removing is easy,
steemrocks/steemrocks/templates/layout.html:

    (html comment removed:  Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics )
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-38034161-5"></script>
    <script>
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
    gtag('js', new Date());
    gtag('config', 'UA-38034161-5');
    </script>

Line 4-12 removed.

Pull Request https://github.com/emre/steemrocks/pull/39 has been created for this

Benefits

User of this website can, without Google profiling, enjoy browsing through the STEEM blockchain and guarding their data privacy, without installing any 3rd party ad blocker like uBlock.
