Is Zen Reader safe?
Zen Reader sends the current page's domain and signed-in user identifier to Google Analytics when reader mode opens.
When the reader interface loads, Zen Reader records the current site's domain as a reader_view analytics event. Its service worker sends that event to Google Analytics with the signed-in user's UID when available, or an anonymous user value otherwise.
