Ethics are subjective, some people may find the fact you're identifying what websites the user is logged into creatively in this way unethical as it divulges what services the user uses without them necessarily consenting/realising you have access to this information.

The information doesn't leave your machine, it's your browser that discovers it and the information is presented to you - what in particular is your take in the ethical problem here? To me that's like a program arranging your contacts by order of use without explicit requesting permission to do so. The page is already causing your browser to request lots of URLs that you didn't explicitly allow.
