It is better privacy. There's one thing for one entity to know what everyone is doing on the web, all the websites that you visit and what you do on them, and another thing for an entity to know that you visited their own website, without knowing what other websites you visit and what you do on them.

LE: The best solution is still self-hosting, as hosted plausible is still a 3rd party entity that centralizes data (even though they probably don't use or share this data).



but ... the website that I'm visiting have no incentive in caring about my privacy, I mean yes they should but what's in it for them ? I think this go to market approach of "we are better because google is evil" is just flawed.


Well, I'm an indie Dev and I do care, I find advertising and cookie notices really annoyining and I can afford the 40 something euros a year it costs me. I don't need to track everything.


They do care, the data can be collected anonymously, without being linked directly to your person. They can use such data to improve your experience, without affecting you personally in any way.
