Is Picture in Picture - floating video player safe?
Picture in Picture - floating video player lets users watch videos in a floating window and injects a phantom pageview into the host page's Google Analytics queue on activation.
The extension adds a floating picture-in-picture mode for videos on any webpage. When a user activates PiP on a video, the extension's content script calls into the host page's legacy Google Analytics (_gaq) queue and submits a fake pageview hit to that site's analytics property. This only affects pages that use the older Google Analytics Classic (ga.js) library and does not send data to the extension's own servers.
