Looks to be live! User-Scoped custom dimensions are now available and have replaced User Properties for #GoogleAnalytics 4.

"With a new custom tag template you can now fetch these values from GTAG, write them into dataLayer, and utilize them in Google Analytics 4"

A really nice update has rolled out to @googleanalytics 4 properties. When building audiences/funnels the dimensions/metrics are much easier to find.
Additionally, it looks like the basic page dimensions are now available and no longer requires custom dimensions.

The BigQuery Export for Google Analytics 4 properties is now available to everyone (and no longer requires Firebase)! This is by far the most important new feature GA4 offers compared to Universal Analytics.

Did you know that GA4 does not end sessions at midnight anymore? In fact, "there is no limit to how long a session can last!"

📢Heads up: in 85, Chrome is changing its default referrer policy to strict-origin-when-cross-origin. By default, no cross-origin leaks of full URLs—and more privacy!

JavaScript Tip ⚡️ Automatically remove an event listener after it has executed.
el.addEventListener('click', console.log, {
once: true
});
Removing event listeners, assuming they're not needed anymore, with {once: true} will help performance.
