    Hi Friso,

    Firstly I’ll explain what that code is doing:

    It only runs on the admin page, not the user facing site. It only runs if there is a javascript error and sends details of the error as well as the browser. Despite being called ‘analytics’ it does not actually track any interactions with the plugin.

    I understand your concerns and I will change it:

    The code WILL run by default when the plugin is installed.
    When the plugin settings are saved for the first time it will be disabled (since this has demonstrated that the javascript has worked).

    The reason making it ‘opt-in’ wouldn’t work as these javascript errors are caused by conflicts with other plugins or themes and prevent the admin interface from working (so in the event of an issue the user would be unable to opt-in to send an error report).

    I’d love to hear your views,
    Daniel
