The whole point of me posting this on HackerNews was 'The Guy on webstore is lying'.

Which part do you not understand when I say I NEVER used any keylogger. This is the only reason I didnt comment on any of your comments. Please edit or remove them.

It is as same as being in Mobile, you tolerate that?

IMHO all static websites have analytics, yes the HTML one's too. Browser extension need tools like analytics 100x more.

Gathering aggregated and anonymized 'doesnot' hamper privacy.

If we look at any authentic reference (Ex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Analytics#Privacy_issues) we will find only when an app associates behaviour-analytics with attributes such as IP Addresses and Geolocation data, it may debate privacy issues, otherwise not.

If you see the word 'privacy', it only activates when an individual is being talked about. There are no specific users on this app, no email id, no unique id. All requests are considered similar irrespective of origin.

"Bully" is not for that comment or his words (Ofcourse he should have contacted me first) but for the following: (copied from below comments)

1). more than 20 1-ratings (You cannot see these 20-25 negative ratings as there are were no text reviews written with it.) 2). mass complaints sent to Google that day. 3). And my app rating came down from 5 to 4, thats a huge setback on the competitive end. (Lost the app's repo which took an year to build) 4). Few false reviews which have been cross-upvoted so all new users sees them on top. And my reply down-voted by the same group that it was removed completely by Chrome.

And there has never been such thing as Inspectlet in the app, and also the person who commented this is not communicating with me, so I would let this one go. And thus no need for that statement. Will make the app opensource, so this will never be an issue in the future, "hopefully".

Simple anonymized analytics, like clicking of a button. Basically the analytics without which nowadays apps/websites are considered incomplete.

Chrome doesnt allow extensions to get that data unless the extension asks for daring permissions like "Access your data on all websites".

Currently the app asks for no such permission. There were some features I planned to integrate like user right-click a text and click on 'send to Sticky note', but now terrified whether to even ask for such permissions.

Happy to release the code. But will take some time from my end. Thanks for this suggestion.

Not sure myself about the term "Cyber Bullying", but I used this word because I got:

1). more than 20 1-ratings (You cannot see these 20-25 negative ratings as there are were no text reviews written with it.)

2). few complaints+emails on the same day.

3). And my app rating came down from 5 to 4, thats a huge setback on the competitive end. (Lost the app's repo which took an year to build)

4). Few comments which have been cross-upvoted so all new / old users sees them on top. And my reply down-voted by the same group that it was removed completely by Chrome. Today I had to reply on it for the third time. And I do not have bandwidth to keep refreshing page every few hours.

I understand your apriori response, but there is a huge difference between analytics and keylogging. Analytics in app is a tool with which we provide better and better software to the end user. This has nothing to do with privacy.

Just like 10 out of 1000 people click on this button so I should remove it. 400 out of 1000 people use this feature, so I should improve it.

How about educating end users on the analytics vs privacy part.

I mentioned my email-id there, to contact and discuss their concerns with me. If someone still feels unsatisfied, he is allowed to post a negative review. But bringing 25+ 1/5 ratings with him on the same day, getting my replies group-downvoted is not a solution.

If the developer is not meant to be trusted, then what is a good solution to this problem? Not everyone would want to open-source their app/game.

Yes, removed it ages ago. Was trying this new analytics startup, never worked out though.
