Hi team,

Chrome browser no longer tracks any of my client side actions anymore. It's not happening for our users of Chrome, just me. So it's mainly just annoying for testing. Safari and Firefox both work fine.

I don't have any ad blockers installed and the only extensions are 1password and WhatRuns. I've tried disabling both of these but still not working.

Is there a setting in Chrome that can prevent Mixpanel tracking? It's been a problem for a few months now but only thought to ask just now. I'm currently on Chrome v75.

Cheers

Hi @matt_au! I had a similar issue before. There is a "Do not Track Feature" that Chrome has in their browsers.

You might want to check if the Chrome browser has the “Do Not Track” features set? To adjust the setting, you can refer here for the details. You can also run this method on your chrome console dev tools mixpanel.has_opted_out_tracking(); to check if it is true or false.

Hopefully this helps get your issue resolved!

We created a checklist on what can prevent users from being tracked:

Hope this helps anyone stumbling on this post in the future!
