Just block the GTM js from loading, it'll stop it easily.

The big change they are suggesting is that the gtm code is no longer accessed via a predictable Google domain, rather it is requested through a subdomain of the parent site.

yes, custom names for loader: https://www.simoahava.com/analytics/custom-gtm-loader-server... and even hosted on your own infra: https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/serve...

uBlock already blocks stuff like Plausible analytics based on what's in the code, even if it runs on the parent site. Would this be any different?

Block the code that they suggest changing the name, domain, and function signatures of? How?

If the loops, if statements, and block scopes are similar then the graph can be fuzzily identified. They’ve had anti-plagiarism software for years.

Annoyingly that would still require downloading them, which I'd definitely prefer not to. It's bloat that serves me no purpose.

For popular sites a backlist could be formed after the first person downloads it.

Can you point me to some anti-plagiarism software? Because this doesn't sound like it will work at a non-trivial level.
