I don't see how it's illegal.. there's no unauthorized access. The analytics servers open a port for the browser to send data to. This extension sends data to it.

It's the servers problem that it trusts the data that the frontend sends to it.

At least in US courts, this line of reasoning does not save the defendant in a hacking case IIRC.
