Me too. It embeds Google spyware without consent, sending a unique identifier from your machine every time you use it.

It's disturbing seeing people say "just run `brew install $PACKAGE`" where $PACKAGE is privacy or local-first software without including the requisite `brew analytics off` on the line above it.

It is a case of the blind leading the blind. Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows it?
