Is Keep Awake your System or Display safe?
Keep Awake your System or Display can auto-open a server-specified URL in a new tab on every browser startup, with no click required.
On every browser startup and install, the extension's background worker contacts a vendor server for promo instructions; if the response's action is 'tab', it immediately opens the server-supplied URL in a new tab without any confirmation or click. Separately, it generates persistent random device and user IDs, reads high-entropy browser/OS fingerprint details, and reports this data along with usage heartbeats to Google Analytics and the vendor's own telemetry backend on install, startup, and daily.
