@benofbrown it has been already there since some months now. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/tree/master/thirdparty/qt-google-analytics
So since they already use google analytics for Musescore, kinda makes sense for them to add it for Audacity, no?
Not that I am defending them, but I think we are too late.
The way they are handling the whole thing makes me think they have future plans for Audacity besides this.
"Musescore Pro" is already a thing https://musescore.com/upgrade "Audacity Pro" next?
