Is Fat cat screenshot safe?
Fat cat screenshot routes Chrome update checks through agency.pictureknow.com when its update test fails.
The background worker checks for a newer version and, if Google's update host cannot be reached, installs a PAC proxy for clients2.google.com and clients2.googleusercontent.com. Chrome extension-update requests to those Google hosts, including URLs and request headers, are then routed through agency.pictureknow.com. Separately, the popup lists installed extensions and provides controls to disable, enable, or uninstall them.
