No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Fading. No reports in the last 7 days and 1 the week before, down from 4 a week at the late-October peak.

Browser Use denies origins set to Always allow. The built-in browser opens the page manually, but the agent cannot observe its content and gets "A saved user permission setting blocks this action."
