I don't see any requests to any analytics or Google Tagmanager, actually the only requests I see when opening a post are to the `news.ycombinator.com` domains to fetch the document itself, a CSS file, a JS file, an image and a couple of SVGs, nothing else. If you see requests outside of that there's something fishy going on in your browser, I believe.
