Is it possible to use Google Analytics for tracking of browser extension usage? If not, is there any other suitable tool for this task?

I have enabled Google Analytics on my website, I can also view dashboards made by Google at analytics.google.com. I want to know if I can embed those dashboards into my own custom site such as mycompany.com.au
I don't think google allows you to have an iframe on their analytics page, but you can set up events to go to Big Query, then access Big Query to create your own sites
You cant directly.
What you can do is use the Google analytics embedded api to which will allow you to show a users google analytics accounts nicely, but your going to have to design all the requests yourself to mirror the Google analytics reports, this also only works with UA analytics not GA4
Byond that you could use the Google analytics api, to request the data yourself and use google charts and graphs to display it nicely on your website.
I guess what I am saying there is nothing out of the box that will do this for you Its something your going to have to code yourself. I have done it for serval clients it can be done very elegantly.
We have implemented Google analytics, Facebook pixel and now going to including Google ads remarking script to collect browsing behavior data.
One of our concerns is: probable degradation of site speed due to inclusion of js file of each tool ( Google analytics, Facebook pixel , Google ads remarketing etc. as dependency)
Does Google Tag manager helps in that ? Is including, script of just GTM enough ?
I did run preview of GTM and saw network log of browser, it is downloading analytics.js from google and fbevents.js from facebook. That means collection and relaying of events happen at client side.
Need to confirm.
I confirm that they definitely happen on the client side. It deliver the same Javascript scripts on the page (which you can put directly on the page if you don't use Tag Manager).
I want to build own analytic platform base on google analytic (GA).
So I had a quick investigation on GA.
But I have some misunderstand below:
In the website and web apps field, google analytic give three options: gtag.js, analytic.js, AMP HTML. But I don't know what will I choose whichever. or could you help me point out the case that we will use for each option?
I tried to follow gtag.js, debug and realize that google analytic send a gif request to post data to google analytic server. I think they use this way to avoid cross-domain Ajax. But the question is how they send data to google server by Android/IOS sdk? They still used gif request or normal restful api.
If anyone know or have idea please help and sharing to me.
Thanks in advance

gtag.js (global tag) is the current version of Google tracking code - "global" because it aims to provide a unified tracking code for Analytics, Adwords, and other Google products.
With the release of the gtag libary analytics.js is now the legacy version of the Google Analytics Javascript tracker, so currently most available information refers to that. However if you are getting started with Analytics you probably should use the current version.
AMP are accelerated mobile pages, a special format with reduced markup and scripting options that is cached on and delivered from Google servers (you relinquish control over your pages in favour of faster delivery, basically). If you have to ask what this is then you are not using it, and do not need this type of tracking code.
If you use Google Analytics in a mobile website you'd use the Javascript tracker and that will indeed return a gif.
If you want to track a native App you would, these days, use Google Analytics for Firebase which comes with it's own SDK. You would implement Firebase in your App and then connect the Firebase project to a mobile property in GA.
I am currently busy with embeddig a Google Analytics dashboard on a third-party website. I've already made a server-side authorization work and I'm able to display some google analytics data.
Now I'm wondering if it's possible to query google analytics benchmark data and show it on third-party website.
It doesn't look like Google Analytics benchmark data is available through the API.
Check this query explorer for the possible query parameters through the GA API.
As a workaround, you could either manually pull a csv report from GA, or write an automated script that can do this, depending on what you need.
Does anybody know what google web master tools offer
I have google analytics on and I just realized I could register for google web master tools.
not sure if it's worth.
any feedback would be welcome
Google webmaster tools is more about your site and how google looks at it with its search engine.
You can configure things like crawl access, rate and view your sites loading speed and possible crawl errors.
And analytics as you know is about your visitors.
