Users in general. We can't track Brave users because it blocks Google Analytics.

Not being able to track users is literally the main feature of Brave, so I'm not surprised it's difficult. It's as it should be.

I don't think the person you're replying to was saying they were surprised or expressing any opinion on whether they should be able to or not - they just said they can't.

sure you can. easily done with basic server side tracking by parsing the User-Agent header. you should be logging this any way in some kind of access log.

Their User-Agent is indistinguishable from Chrome, on purpose so I don't think you can just rely on that

Well, if it's Chrome and is untrackable, then it's Brave, easy.

That is not how that works. What about actual Chrome with ad blockers then? What about other browsers pretending to be Chrome? There are add-ons that allow you to randomise your user agent, etc, etc.

Does Chrome consult with ad blockers when it reports user activity to google?

That’s a feature for me as a user.

Isn't it possible to somehow look at user agents and do a raw count with some JS?

This should be possible by monitoring server logs with something like GoAccess

Brave uses the Chrome User Agent.
