How to bypass Browser add-ons from Blocking Azure Application Insight Logs

I'm using Application Insights JS SDK React Plugin to log application insights data to Azure. This data publishing could get blocked by some browser extensions such as Ad Blocker, Privacy Badger, etc. In my case analytics got blocked by Privacy Badger while experimenting.

enter image description here

I know it can be prevented by disabling relevant add-ons for the particular site from the browser. Just wondering is there a particular way to prevent this from implementation side without asking users to disable their add-ons.

Have you considered building a proxy to forward traffic to your own domain before then passing it off to App Insights?

Show how to proxy requests from the Application Insights Javascript SDK instead of sending telemetry directly to dc.services.visualstudio.com. This allows you to do things such as use your own custom domain and/or hide the Instrumentation Key.

There are step by step instructions in that link to configure this
