The problem isn't analytics the problem is tracking. Brave is the perfect example. It may have no built in analytics but at the same time it is easier to track than Google Chrome due to fingerprinting. Do you care more about testing which features of a product are actually used (Firefox) or do you care about a company giving out your entire browsing history through a side.channel (Brave).
