• Observe pause when tab is hidden and resume when visible
• Verify popup counter matches visible page
• Press Parar to stop the session
• Inspect extension details and manifest permissions

The project also keeps an explicit refusal list. It does not click reply, quote, follow, direct message, login, or cookie controls.
