Is Adkrig Ad Blocker safe?
Adkrig Ad Blocker sends recurring Google Analytics heartbeats with a persistent browser UUID.
The background service worker stores a client UUID in local extension storage and sends a Google Analytics Measurement Protocol event when it runs. It repeats the run heartbeat about every hour, including the client ID, event name, session ID, and engagement timing data.
