Mozilla Collision: Visualize who is following you on the internet

[Jefke]

Stumbled on this add-on for Firefox: click.

Thought it was interesting, although I had to disable Ghostery to actually try it properly

 

Collusion is an experimental add-on for Firefox and allows you to see all the third parties that are tracking your movements across the Web. It will show, in real time, how that data creates a spider-web of interaction between companies and other trackers.

 

To prevent companies from following you, you can use add-ons like this: Ghostery (works with pretty much all modern browsers)

In Firefox 22 (version even after nightly, so to be released in a pretty long time from now ), they are planning to partially block these kind of third party cookies (only blocking the cookies from sites you never visited)

 

 

Ps. Although I run Ghostery I can't resist of posting also this pic
