Url tracking is not always needed... and please do pattern matching!
There should be a way to switch off URL tracking and sending just the browser name. E.g. when whitelist is enabled but completely empty.
Since SeaMonkey is not recognized as a browser atm, I have such a system now:
- seamonkey is for personal stuff -> reported as "seamonkey" and tagged as "personal"
- firefox is for work, has enabled whitelist which is empty -> reported as "other web-sites" and tagged as "work".
I see a problem, that when SeaMonkey support is fixed and it starts sending URL of sites visited, I can't distinguish that easily anymore between personal and work internet usage, all of them will fall into "other web sites" or as a URL independently of the browser.
The perfect would be to have pattern system. So if activity is reported as <application>:<url> I could write some patterns myself, matching just the first part or more. Such a mapper between detailed info and display string.</application>

Inappropriate?Alternatively (for the beginning) you could make 2 checkboxes in the collector for the browser apps:
- report browser name
- report URL
Default at the moment is second enabled.
And I would enable first instead for myself atm.
Someone might need both.

This is one of the best points

Actually this is valid for all apps: report just the name, the details, or the both.
Just for the browsers I need app name, and for chats the details.
