How come that I can see the monthly counts bar chart and the timecard punch chart although I didn't create a EditCounterOptIn.js page?

I am logged in. This might have started since I see an angry rabbit with a "Please log in to continue" when I open that page (~ 3 or 4 weeks). In past years OAuth was able get the permission by itself.

Requiring OAuth is a measure to help with performance. Web crawlers click on the links and fire off expensive queries at high rates, sometimes taking down XTools for all users. We don't require OAuth in all situations, but we do for queries which are deemed to be expensive, such as running the Edit Counter on your account.

I'm completely fine with OAuth but I don't want to see the detailed statistics.

You don't want to see your own detailed statistics? Or is the concern that others can? Because I can assure you others cannot :)

If your concern is it takes too long, note you can choose which sections of statistics you want at xtools:ec.

I don't need this information, it hasn't been displayed all the years until now, it says ''These statistics are only shown if the user has opted in to showing restricted statistics'' which I haven't.

It has always been displayed for logged-in users. It's just that recently we've had to enforce that users login. If you don't want to see these stats, my advice is to unselect them at xtools:ec. I'm not sure what else I can do.
