I hope this doesn't track what I'm reading unlike the new readability.

Yup; all text processing is done in the browser.

URLs are tracked, though -- they would be tracked in my server logs, even if I didn't do anything specific to track them.

But they are intentionally tracked -- and a percentage of them are run through an automated Readable test, every day, so that I can see, on average, how often Readable gets things wrong.

I will also be adding an option that will disable even this anonymous tracking, for those who really want/need it.

However, you'll just have to take my word for it that I won't be reading the server logs -- which contain the same, if not more, data.

Still, not 100% sure if the URL is considered text too and is not sent anywhere.
