Comment on Apparently CodePen 2.0 sends data to their servers as you typeparent

HotJar and similar services are (were?) popular as well, and those record your mouse pointer movements and clicks as well, then displays that as an overlay over the application, so it's essentially a "screen recording" of your session of the application.

Not sure if they are still popular but in the past they may have really slowed down the site

Now it's an entire industry. They call it "bot protection"

Wait until you see a microsoft clarity recording.
