What about for iOS? Sure there's more pervasive methods, but I doubt any are as ubiquitous as GA. My ghostery plugin shows GA for nearly every website I visit.

I thought iOS browsers' adblockers can at least do domain-based blocking, which is enough for the typcial GA case?

There are adblockers for iOS, but not for old versions of iOS and I think 32 bit versions of iOS don't work with it. IIRC Apple has allowed it since 9.0.

Adblock works on Android.
