basically it listens to the game and record/display all the relevant data sent to your client.

So you are able to check your construction time / equipment list / fleet composition at the same time while you are eg. in battle, which you cannot do with normal browser.

whether or not this is breaking the game rules is entirely up to the developer. They didnt specify whether or not passive program that listen to the game is violating the TOS, but using custom browser technically is. (see the twitter link above)

Personally i dont see any reason why i have to use the custom browser, this is just a casual game for me and not exactly EVE online. I'm happy to play the game the way its been presented to me, and i still get my Yamato Taihou and six submarines without spreadsheets. Obviously if people want to play this game with extra aids then it's their choice.
