I was about to try Side View yesterday -- I usually run two Firefox windows side by side anyway -- but I couldn't be bothered to find out what data exactly they would extract from it[1], and I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt. I fully expected to find it as a standalone extension, but if it exists, I couldn't find it.

(From their GitHub page.[1]) Also note that the Test Pilot page [2] contains a summary of the data they collect. Most notably: > Side View does not collect any information about sites you visit. The data is does collect seems related to whether and how you use it - it is an experiment, after all.
