Is IDM - Download Manager Extension safe?
IDM - Download Manager Extension checks a Blogger page and opens a remote-specified URL in an active tab.
The service worker periodically fetches notification JSON from a Blogger page and stores the last notification ID it saw. When that remote JSON changes and includes a URL, the extension opens that URL as a new active tab. The request goes to idmdevloper.blogspot.com with a timestamp parameter; the returned data controls the tab that opens.
