Hi there! I'm Alfonso the creator of FullAnalytics.

FullAnalytics is a fully managed solution to prevent third-party website scripts like Google Analytics, Segment, Meta Pixel, and others [0] from being blocked by ad blockers. Depending on the industry FullAnalytics can recover up to 40% of previously blocked analytics data [1]. To enable FullAnalytics on your website, you only need to add a JavaScript snippet to your website's HTML code. That's all.

If you have any questions, please let me know here or by email at [email protected].

P.S. We don't like ads and annoying popups too. We want to help those who rely on analytics data (e.g., page views) to make decisions.

This seems like an arms race you won't be able to win. The adblockers will just adapt.

Yeah, it's a cat-and-mouse game.

But hopefully, with some of our features like dedicated proxy domains [0], FullAnalytics can prevail for some time :-)

AWStats does something similar: https://www.awstats.org/

You get a full picture of traffic without relying on inserting JS into the page

Ohh, I remember AWStats from 2009 times or so. It's nice, but it doesn't solve what FullAnalytics does. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics [0] as an alternative to AWStats these days (it doesn't require inserting JS too).

If you're concerned about injecting third-party scripts into your website, you can use FullAnalytic's Zero Trust solution [1] to minimize risks.

This is really wrong and unethical. If someone doesn't want to be tracked so that their data is later sold to 3rd parties you should respect that. Developing tools that invade user privacy is simply wrong, possibly evil.
