Is BeeLine Reader safe?
BeeLine Reader sends the full URL of each active page to Google Analytics via a tracking pixel for free and trial users.
When BeeLine Reader applies its color-gradient text formatting on a page, it calls a Google Analytics tracking pixel that includes the full page URL — path and query string included — as a UTM parameter. This occurs for users on free or trial accounts each time the extension activates, and also on error events and user interactions such as blacklist toggles. Paid users are not subject to this tracking call.
