 "And how can I optout from this "statistics collection"?

 You do have an option for optout all-data-collecting right?

 Be honest. Write this to download page or you'll become another evil
 google.
 "If you use Tor, we collect your computer information and what onion you
 visit."
 "Write xxxxx to torrc file to opt-out." <--- Ideas?"


 1. What Tor is collecting?
 2. Where are these data sent to? Tor Metrics?
 3. How can I opt-out from such data collection/TorMetrics?
 4. Why didn't you explain this to download webpage AND a blog?
