Analytics in a web browser extension... its just not a thing I can tolerate. Sorry.

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.

No I don't tolerate analytics on my phone (thats just insane!).

None of my websites have analytics, and I feel violated by the ones that do. Especially newspaper websites are big offenders. I even go as far that my custom build web server does not have a log. I don't want to know who visits my website, in fact if I had a log I'd get rid of it like it was the plague.

Why don't you just ask your customers what they want? That's what I do, I believe I also get more accurate information that way.
