Collusion

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.

What we are working on now for Collusion includes:

• What do I do now? Usability improvements to help you take control of your browsing privacy.
• Too much data, what does it mean? Visualization improvements for when the tracker graph grows unwieldy.
• How does this compare to others? Anonymously share your tracker data with Mozilla so we can build a bigger picture of who is tracking what.
• What are the trends? A public API from the tracker database for mashups, specialized visualizations, etc. Track whether a site gets more or less invasive over time, how your favourite sites fare, and much more.
