I am confused by the message at: <chrome://extensions/ >" "Safety Check" "Review 2 extensions that may be unsafe" "Chrome recommends that you remove them" "IBA Opt-out (by Google)" "This extension hasn't published privacy practices, such as how it collects and uses data" I was able to Find, Read, and Understand the Privacy Policy about the "Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on (by Google)" at: "policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US." What is the mis-information (or dis-information),... Show more

I agree with ALL of the many posts (confused by turninging on/off, motive, financial gain, etc) .... now please state "Why does Google have to use an add-in in order to opt-out of sharing, selling, and providing information to a 3rd party"? At the top of page for the Add-On Opt-Out (by Google) it distinctly says "Google doesn't verify reviews", therefore if Google is not verifying their own reviews, then how does it know to provide better service? Rule of thumb has been, "when you know bette... Show more

Installing an add-in to opt out of sharing my personal information doesn't feel safe. It feels like the add-in gathers my info then lets sites know they can't have it. So what does the add-in do with what it gathers ...

It works but it's confusing to turn on and off. You don't know when it's working or not

In spite of having installed “Google Opt-out Add-on (by Google)” I just got an Add send by “ www.google-analytics.com/collect??v=..... from Ticketcorner.ch (and I have not bought anything from Ticketcorner=>third-party information collection). This makes me doubt if Google intentions (greenwashing) and live up their moral obligation on Data-collection of private information (European GDPR-law). This is a shortsighted strategy from a “monopoly”: You collect reputation/image in drops but loos... Show more

Ideal for web developers who don't want to include their footprint on their projects causing inaccurate data. For all the nay-sayers, this app is not actually for you so quit your whining and just go incognito mode.

Under EU GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, Cookie options are defined under very strict terms and huge fines for non-compliance (100s of Thousands of £/Euros). Some sites use the "Missing NO" explained in long winded policy documents in the hope that the consumer is too uninterested or too lazy to make the effort to follow up and just accept. I also think the level of trust with the "third party" players and most particularly Google in any form is a long distance to stretch credulity, And I be... Show more

I am confused. If I expect the cookie to allow me to opt-out of Chrome peeking in on what Iam doing why do I have to "add-on" as an extension. It just sounds really sneaky. Please, clarify the necessity to add-on the extension required to "opt-out".

But do you really *trust* Google to self-manage this, and truly opt you out of the thing they make their money from? Without an open source check, and requiring your acceptance from a TOS and EULA to install this plugin (which re-grants them consent again) I am deeply suspicious of Google's integrity due to the profit-motive conflict of interest here. They'll word-weasel their way around this with lawyers.
