Any time an industry declares war on its users (as ad tracking did years ago), it gets ugly. I thought the endgame would be manipulating analytics to get extremely specific, high mistargeted auction prices:

I'm shopping for a $1.3M turbine part. It will look nice next to my hand made tibetan merino wool cat stand that I am also shopping for. Of course my eyeballs are worth $1000/minute. Why do you ask?

As mean as these guys are, they could be a lot worse.

Anyway, kudos to the extension authors!
