Fixed!

I agree, we're aiming to optimize for the most popular websites first. No plans for supporting ALL websites.

Here's the data policy we just made: https://github.com/UseMacro/macro-chrome-extension/blob/mast...

Awesome and nice job getting that taken care of quickly! I see it mentioned on the landing page, but you might want to think about adding that link in the footer as well.

And just to address the other comments here, I see the reason to collect this data. It can be hard to understand usage patterns and even if anyone is using it without it. That said, I think sometimes GA isn't the best option for these type of tools b/c of the 3rd party nature of it, but any calling home will look risky as well so maybe GA is the best option we have now. I think the reason you want to be very open about it (and even better, allow it to be an option you can toggle) is that it doesn't feel like these type of tools would do this (compared to a web page), and thus the surprise factor hits hard.

why does a keyboard shortcuts extension need to collect any data in the first place?

I assume the same reason any app has analytics - so you can work out how users are using it and improve the app based on that information

If you're developing a keyboard shortcuts extension, would you rather have an idea about how the product is being used or stay completely in the dark? Which do you think would help you more in developing new features?

If you care about having users at all, it would be wiser not to antagonize them by send their information to third parties.

So you would rather know nothing about how users are using your product, rather than risk offending the subset of users that are vehemently against telemetry?

There's a simple and polite way to learn that - just ask some of them.

I don't think very many users would go out of their way to be vehemently pro-telemetry either. It's indistinguishable from spying. Most people just shrug off their own inability to counter it and carry on with their lives, that's why marketers and other scum are able to get away with it. But it's certainly not in the users' best interest - I sincerely hope you have that interest at heart.

I do, and telemetry definitely has a place in my mind to help achieve that. I'm sure you will call me scum or something worse, but I sincerely hope that you can see that maybe it's not as black and white as you see it.

Not yet, since we're first focused on an MVP. It's something we do have in mind for our roadmap!

How difficult is it to maintain both browsers compared to only one?

Not particularly challenging. There's a couple small things you have to add to the manifest usually, but no big deal.

I might actually submit a PR for Firefox support in a day or two if I get around to it.

that would be awesome! Let us know if you have any questions, happy to help you get onboarded.

That looks awesome! Really similar to what we want to build for our users. Thanks for sharing!

Removed.

Thanks for mentioning that. I'm going to remove "for free", no plans to monetize.

I agree, it seems like a generic solution that doesn't work for specific problems. Macro tackles the problem first, and aims to provide a really good experience for specific websites .

We also help users discover shortcuts that are already on the app, and centralize all of these shortcuts in our panel which can be accessed by Alt+/

Creator here. Vimium provides mostly generic shortcuts for all websites. We find that there's a huge potential for better shortcuts on popular websites like Messenger and Google that are tailored towards the app.

For example, Cmd+Enter sends an emoji, whereas there's no alternative on Vimium iirc.
