  Yes I generally know that, but I wanted to understand the scope of what a browser could glean from the PC itself.

  Does it know steam is running? Does it know it’s been minimized for 4 hours?

    From your link, by the marketing verbiage, they can record and replay actions during a session. One can assume the surveillance is self-contained to the browser itself and any external service which affects it. However, screenshots or videos made during an abnormal event might reveal the environment beyond it.

    Spying on other apps installed might be a separate option with its own price. Can’t say for sure.
