      Why this seemed like a good idea, I have no idea. Website tracking and analytics taken to a whole other level.

      Yep, all your keyboard presses. Some even sent non-encrypted.

        Oh it's been like that for a long time.

        They even know when you hover your mouse over an item, and don't click it so they can figure out why.

          I could understand if they were collecting this sort of data just for their own website, but every keypress? No, just, no.

          I didn't recall it ever being every keystroke before. I wonder if add blockers are also blocking some of this stuff? I'd assume so, but probably won't look into it more till tomorrow at some point.

            There are insane amounts of money being spent on consumer data... no matter what it is.

            Every time you blink when doing online shopping is worth millions to them... almost literally.

            It's that nobody seems to care or notice.

              Sadly true.

                While this isn't full session replay, Piwik allows you to capture full keystrokes on any website you setup and it's fully free to use. Not something that's advertised but super simple to do and setup.
