Exclude my visits on mobile

[emschwartz]

Describe the feature or enhancement

On desktop, it's easy enough to set the localStorage item to make Umami exclude my own visits. On mobile, that's more complicated and not possible on all browsers. It would be nice to have some other way to set that value and have Umami exclude my visits.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it might be possible to use a cookie set by the web UI that would be sent along with the tracking requests and could be used to exclude someone who had logged into the UI (assuming the UI and tracking endpoint are on the same domain).

If you use Firefox mobile, you could do this using the UblockOrigin.
Add the domain you are hosting umami on to the custom filters.
Then to keep being able to access the dashboard, add that same domain to the trusted sites list.

@Matthijz98 unfortunately I'm on iOS and it doesn't support browser extensions 😢

@emschwartz Safari for iOS does support extensions, but they need to be vetted by Apple.

You could achieve blocking the URL of the script with an ad blocker extension or running and ad blocker as a local VPN. There's quite a few around, i.e. AdGuard which works both ways.

Doh. Of course. Added it to my DNS ad blocker. Good point!
