What do they gonna do with my page view statistics? Why everyone have to poison a useful tool with Analytics tracking code. If it's about to provide some usage statistics, sure they can ask and collect my usage data anonymously. But why GA?

The short answer is GA because it's free and allows for collecting events. I wasn't sure how people would use the app so I wanted to measure a few events. One specific question I had at the beginning was "would people want to save and close tabs". The answer so far is yes they do, but only 15% of the time. Not sure if that means to keep or remove the feature yet though :D
