How does having GA integrated into your sales flow prevent these situations from happening?
What is GA? I do not have any sales.

Is the invasive part that the data is going to GA or that the failure-to-close-sale is explicitly being logged at all?
abandoned carts are pretty commonly stored in a database so a followup email can be fired off later in the way. You don't need GA for this.
Sure, you don't need GA for that. In the same way that you don't need AWS, you could just deploy to on-premises servers.
But people pick AWS because it offers a lot more than just a storage bucket. Same with Google Analytics. It offers a ton of ecommerce analytics including custom tags that can be set by the shop owner. TeeSpring is probably not a full-service Ecomm platform like Magento. It's likely that they are piggybacking on GA's built in Ecomm tracking and reporting capabilities, instead of reinventing the wheel by doing it themselves.
FYI, Ublock Origin also blocks links to "sponsored results" shown on Amazon search.

If it had broken, the code in the post would have worked. How exactly is code supposed to handle a dependency existing, but not being the API shape that it should be because a browser extension added an incomplete stub? Should every line of code get wrapped in try/catch? There's a big difference between "resilient against a missing dependency" and "being resilient in the face of getting literally any object instead o…
> Should every line of code get wrapped in try/catch? For third party dependencies that might not get loaded for whatever reason? Yes, sure. There are better ways to do it, but that's the idea.
The code listed does check if it's been loaded. The stub that gets loaded is wrong. How do you guard against that?

#204My fave example of this - I am using NextDNS for ad-blocking on my stock Pixel 4a, the Wells Fargo app won't allow me to sign in with fingerprint or username/pass while using DNS over TLS.
Did you ever get this working?
I had a similar problem with nextdns and the amazon app but I was able to resolve via whitelisting a couple domains.
