Yes and yes, and I'm mad about it (a bit).
I have an adblocker (Ublock Origin) installed, it also blocks analytics and other tracking services. Even If I hadn't installed it, all major browsers have the "Do Not Track" option on by default, which makes tracking possible but erases out important data, like referrers.
So Yes, I use it, BUT. When I look in my analytics sheets, they have become very useless without that information. It's full of referral spam, almost every trackable user erases out information like referrers or keywords from his search.
Tracking with analytics has become a useless nightmare imo. It is only useful with specified campaign urls and target actions for conversion tracking. Classic analytics and reading, optimizing your flow is not possible anymore because of that massive corrupted information.
On some days I have more orders on some shops than users according to GA. Man.
