This sounds amazing, and a bit scary - how does it obtain the info it needs?

  Thanks! Whenever a user visits a web page, we check (locally) to see if that url is present in our database of verified SaaS app urls. If there is, we record a session. If not, we don't do anything. So no url or browsing activity is ever sent to our servers unless our extension has already determined that a match has been found in our database of apps.

    So at a higher level it sounds like you use the google workspace to distribute a browser extension to everyone in the workspace without their awareness, and the you monitor all sites they visit, recording only those sites that match your SaaS candidates list.

      That's right. You have flexibility over who gets the extension (e.g. distribute to the whole org, or only specific org units/people). It is essentially providing unified usage reporting across all your SaaS. Some tools provide transparent usage reporting, some don't.
