Collecting usage statistics is harvesting data. This is a classic example of why you should never run random NPM modules. Or even install them as all of this is possible in a post install script too.

Putting analytics in a deployed app is your prerogative. Putting it in what touts itself as a reusable component is at best frowned upon.

Ok, I see your point. I update the website.

This commit deletes any kind of data harvesting (removes fingerprint and visit counting):

It comes by default on React apps, it’s not used for anything.
