I had warned others about this back in May of last year -- https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1147

I am hearing rumblings that the developer is being paid by a third party to integrate a closed-source library that tracks user data in the latest release, hence the intrusive "UPDATE NOW" push. I'll be removing this extension post-haste.

is this exactly the code that makes screenshots? gsCleanScreencaps
Required IP addresses are sent data

I believe it seems this extension has become malicious, but isn't this particular issue just a part of the core functionality? It takes a screenshot of the webpage to display while it is suspended.

You can turn it off & on from the settings UI .. Let me check the code if this is turns on & off.

Chrome flagged it and took it off for me

So does it turn it off ?

In thegreatsuspender there is a mode to take a screenshot, it is implemented as a function it can be disabled the question is whether this function is completely disabled
