Is Looker Studio Auto Refresh safe?

Low risk

Looker Studio Auto Refresh sends a browser-derived identifier to Google Analytics when its popup opens.

When you open the extension popup, it posts a page_view event to Google Analytics. The event includes a user_id built from browser and screen properties such as MIME type count, user agent digits, plugin count, screen size, and pixel depth.
