How is your “safety” being harmed. Really. What is the actual harm from gaug.es? Have you ever used it?
Share the story please of a single person, anywhere at any time that suffered a harm because of gaug.es.
We throw terms like “safety” around so much that they lose their meaning. There are sites (especially news orgs) that do harmful things when it comes to tracking, retargeting and such. But some little site that wants some basic analytics? Come now. That’s comparing a lemonade stand with a Tesco.

I have no way of knowing if their ownership changes hands, and the authors are doing noting to assert it doesn't become malware. It's irresponsible.
