Summary
For any twitter.com tab, the plugin runs a repeating 1.5 second timer, checking to see if the "load new tweets" element is visible. If so, and if no twitter overlay is open, it will click that element to load new tweets.
It doesn't collect or use any user data, and it's unlikely that twitter can tell that it's being used at all.

This add-on is most useful among other similar ones with such function. It certainly stop working when you are not browsing to the top. Only minus is... it somehow erases already displayed old tweets while working on tweet search tab (or maybe it is just Twitter's fault).
