Why goindex has baidu tracker?

[chinchio]

In goindex-acrou/src/main.js
goindex-acrou/goindex-builder-code/light/views/index.html
goindex-acrou/goindex-builder-code/dark/views/index.html
I can find the code below
https://hm.baidu.com/hm.js?6be1011f95a1bfcdb2179fe2ae6e58fe
Why goindex need this code?

Baidu's hm.js pretty much serve the same feature as gtag.js provides by Google it monitors web traffic and user view time analysis then serves a direct chart/table in the admin panel for helping site owners to know which part of the country/world uses his services the most, you'll probably see the same thing in a lot of self-hosted projects on GitHub, some owner tells you to fork and delete the tracker js, but some don't. This is mainly for basic SEO usages yet hm.js is an embedded JavaScript within your site so the site owner can literally create a separate self-hosted admin panel and wipe out the data inside himself. Yes we do want privacies, but hm.js is lot safer than gtag.js to be honest here, if you still don't feel good with my explanation, host your own installation page, fully open sourced, otherwise, don't use. You can literally just fork this repo and delete this line of code manually then deploy your own ones instead of bring out this topic to confuse people, do some research before you really issue out in a repo.

@andatoshiki Why are you being so defensive? Nobody wants spyware crap, no matter what country it is from. @chinchio Thanks for the heads-up, I'll make sure to give the source code a good read before blindly trusting anything that is similar to Google.

The Baidu Analytics was introduced in the Original Achrou/goindex-theme-acrou, I didn't remove it.

You can remove the Baidu Analytics from your Worker

remove the following from your code

hm.src = "https://hm.baidu.com/hm.js?9c5614ee0ea7b04c0f3d142b02f283fc";
