> Google analytic is everywhere. If you don't want Github to track you, then don't use it. So if people fear Google, then should Github do the tracking on its own? Then all the sudden Github is not evil anymore. First, it is not "evil", it's just an invasion of privacy. Yes, if GitHub did their own tracking I wouldn't have a problem with it. What I don't want is one company that knows everything I do online and that's why I have a problem with GA. That GitHub tracks my activity on GitHub is completely acceptable. > And you know what? Github itself has been using Google analytic for years. And now we are complaining about Google collecting data? I can block GA in my browser, so this doesn't concern me. Using privacy invading tracking scripts all you want, I'll just block them. Can't really do the same in a desktop text editor.
