Is Flexera Web Metering safe?
Flexera Web Metering records every visited URL and the signed-in user's identity and sends both to a local Flexera agent every 5 seconds.
The extension watches all HTTP(S) traffic in the browser and collects the URL of every completed page load, then pairs that browsing history with the logged-in account name, computer name, and domain obtained from a companion native application on the device. Every five seconds it bundles the accumulated URLs and identity details into a JSON payload and posts it to that local agent, which is part of the same Flexera software-metering product IT departments use to track application and web usage for licensing.
