> This article is all about Facebook, but I have also scaled back my use of other big services like Google The issue is with whatever 3rd parties which are ubiquitous enough. The difficulty is, how do we find which 3rd parties are ubiquitous enough so as to warrant that we take action against it? This is why I wrote uBO-Scope[1], its whole purpose is to inform users of which 3rd parties out there are ubiquitous, according to their own browsing history, and according to which 3rd parties were allowed to connect on any given site. The extension observes network traffic on all pages you visit and from the data it collects over time, and will inform you about which 3rd parties are in a position to collect how much of your browsing history using a per-base domain heatmap of privacy exposure. It's a side-side-project, and hopefully I will find time again to further improve it. The whole motivation is that I want people to become aware of what is happening when they browse the net, and in the spirit of informed consent, to encourage them to take action to reduce their privacy exposure.
