Lightbeam by Mozilla is a step on the way of making people
aware & alert about the online data tracking.
Lightbeam is a second iteration of an experimental add-on
called Collusion.
The tool aims to highlight both the first and third party
companies that people interact with as they travel across the web. It shows a
map of the websites you visit and highlights the third parties that are also
active on those pages. It will analyse the relationships between various first
and third party sites that are stored in your online data.
As per Mozilla, the company aims to give web users control of their data and
privacy by using interactive visualizations in the form of graphs, clocks and
lists. Lightbeam users can sift through this collected data to see the sources
of images and other information.
In addition
to the graph view, you can also see your data in a clock view to examine
connections over a 24-hour period or in a List view to drill down into
individual sites.
To have Lightbeam
on your Firefox browser, ‘click’
