Send pings to the IPM server

Background / User story

We want to send both telemetry data (e.g. what is the user's browser) as well as user event data (e.g. the user clicked a button in the on page dialog) to the IPM server.

There is a document describing the data to be sent in Notion: Telemetry and User Event Data

What to change

• Design: N/A
• Research: N/A
• Spec: N/A
• Legal: N/A
• Development:
  • Implement according to the Notion doc
  • The IPM server URL that we have right now is: https://ipm-server-pings-dev-2yjyl75qda-uk.a.run.app/api/stats (relevant thread in Slack is here)

Hints for testers

• Please make sure data is being sent, and that it is in line with the definition on the Notion page
• One ping is sent immediately after starting the extension, and after that, pings are sent in an interval.
• Please make sure the ping interval is followed. The ping interval duration is stored in Prefs, under the ipm_ping_interval key.
• Note that the blocked_total property is expected to be always 0.

Hints for translators

Nothing to translate.
