I think this is a pretty neat idea to help people navigate all the services a company uses. I'm a bit concerned about repointing all my browser search bar traffic to a custom endpoint - but as long as the code is open I can't see why it wouldn't be a better alternative than everyone having to create a bunch of bookmarks themselves.

By getting browsers to perform tasks that give away attributes of the host machine, it's possible to track the same device across sessions from multiple browsers. Tasks make use of the GPU and the installed fonts among other features to build profiles.
