I recommend anyone interested in learning about online tracking to install Mozilla Collusion http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/collusion/ http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/collusion/
After seeing the amount of seemingly disparate information certain organizations can track (Google/Doubeclick, Discuss, Facebook, Twitter, etc) consider installing Ghostery http://www.ghostery.com/ http://www.ghostery.com/
Collusion takes seconds to install and you can forget about it for months while it builds an interactive web of tracking.
Ghostery protects your privacy by blocking a large list of web spies.
- coderdude 15y agoI've checked this out. It was pretty crazy to see how many domains get pinged when I visit a site. Just remember, o consumer of things but blocker of ads yet payer of nothing, that when enough people are gyping site owners out of what little revenue you even can earn from advertising you will cease to get your freebies but the agencies will not stop gathering your information.
- ColdAsIce 15y agoBecause fuck advertising. Site owners are not advertising companies.
- abhaga 15y agoIs something similar to collusion available for Chrome?
- jmilkbal 15y agoNo, but a privacy conscious user would prefer to use Chromium which doesn't come with the Google privacy invasion built-in.
