James Bach (ID: 0000006feda8daed) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/15/2022 The extension crashed after I unchecked all filters, please fix it early

Onder Bagci (ID: 0000006090d7ba8d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/30/2022 Doesn't show batched GA4 requests separately.

Andrew Gorrill (ID: 000000e9c45bd08a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/21/2022 I've tried so many, and this is, by far, the clearest and simplest analytics tracking extension I've used. It's hard to tell what's going on with lots of extensions (if you have a complicated analytics setup, as we do) because there's so much output; this one channels the output into layers of complexity that you can optionally reveal, making it soooo much easier to actually track the events you're looking for.

Roy Raviv (ID: 000000ad007ca48d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/16/2022 It is OK. That being said, it tends to crash randomly, and especially when you try to apply a filter.
