Privacy policy already revised w/o any notice (Or just because the developers haven't told us the truth before): "The current version of SkipScreen incorporates two third-party tools that collect their own usage data: Google Search, and AddThis (http://addthis.com). After downloading a file, you'll see a post-download page that offers links for sharing that file, and two Google search boxes for searching for more files to download (one for SkipScreen compatible sites, and one for torrents). The Google search boxes load a script from google.com, so using SkipScreen (even if you don't search for anything) has similar privacy implications as visiting google.com. We don't think this will be a big deal for most users, who probably use google regularly anyway. But if you have any questions you should refer to Google's privacy policy: http://www.google.com/privacy.html One of the AddThis share links is coded in such a way that it loads a script from AddThis every time you use SkipScreen. To minimize privacy concerns, the next version of SkipScreen will change the way we use AddThis so that it loads AddThis only when the user clicks on the "More..." or "tell a friend" links in the post download page. If you have any questions you should look at AddThis's privacy policy: http://www.addthis.com/privacy " Not a big deal if you use Google regularly?! Are you kidding? Even if you use Google, it doesn't mean that Google know what file you download from other sharing websites every time. I won't say it is a "spyware" but if you use it, just bear in mind, you trade some of your privacy for the usage of this addon, that's the point.
