title: Google Analytics vs. Chrome Web Store Statistics Very Different
body: <p>I recently released a chrome extension new tab, and I wanted to check the download/usage statistics.</p>
  
  <p>I added both google analytics and checked the chrome web store stats. The values are extremely different. Here they are (for the same app):</p>

  <p>Here is my extension on the web store:

  <p>My question: why are these values so different? They are off by a factor of 10. Which one (if any) is correct, and is there some way I can know for sure?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
