With new browsers like Arc blocking ads by default and users flocking to them, it's getting tougher to get the full picture about how your product is used from product analytics.
This was something we noticed while building Flytrap, that there were many datapoints missing, which made it impossible for us to understand things about the product and what was going wrong etc.
This is a short blog post on how we use Next.js redirects to go around all ad-blockers!
Ad blockers are your users telling you they don't want to be included in your "product analytics". I think more companies should start taking this view over trying to wage a constant war on ad-blockers.
Hey, thanks for sharing your perspective! While I do agree with your point to some extent, I somewhat disagree because product analytcs are usually a non-invasive way to actually improve the product for the customer, whereas most people use adblockers to block invasive things such as popups, ads etc.
