Mozilla, the maker of Firefox, has unveiled a new add-on for the popular web browser that gives web users an instant view of which companies are 'watching' them as they browse.
The move comes the same week that Google pushed ahead with its controversial new privacy policy, built to provide even more data for Google's $28 billion advertising business - despite concerns that the massive harvesting of private data might be illegal in many countries.
The Collusion add-on will allow users to 'pull back the curtain' on web advertising firms and other third parties that track people's online movements, says Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs.

Great tool. I just install the add...and it's amazing. Even heavenforum.org is 'watching me.

So one again, NICE tool.

Big brother...now I'm watching too

I use ghostery for firefox, is really good. My computer is running so much faster!

For example in this site there is only one tracker: Google analytics but well blocked

Uhhhmmm - Yeah I set up Google Analytics for Site Stats and Visitor Stats...



Its harmless really as It was set up by Me for Us as a Community when I set up the Site.

I am not complaining just saying

There are other sites where you get like 10 is rather fascinating. I am still pondering why facebook will have a tracker in Channel four but who knows. Just glad that ghostery is ghostering away
