Is Minesweeper Original safe?
Minesweeper Original sends a UUID-based identifier to Google Analytics every 60 minutes while the browser is running.
Each time the extension is installed, it generates a random UUID and stores it locally as a client ID. Every 60 minutes, it posts a session event to Google Analytics (GA4) using a hardcoded measurement ID and API secret, allowing the developer to track active sessions over time. No gameplay data or browsing activity is included in these pings.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Minesweeper Original contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
