"this is not acceptable. other media players have those options, but you can turn them off. the way omn tries to force you to share your viewing data is just wrong in my view. i won't install this software and can't recommend using it to anyone for that reason. their site also wants you to use cookies for the player to work. this is all not technically necessary, but a sign that they want to control/"spy" on their users..."
