OP here. The differences between (and history of) these two extensions are a bit confusing :-):
The parts of Disconnect that 60 Minutes showed actually started as a Chrome (from Firefox) port of Collusion that I did for a hackathon (https://blog.disconnect.me/collusion-for-chrome https://blog.disconnect.me/collusion-for-chrome). Later, we updated and integrated this code into Disconnect (there’s a “Visualize page” option in Disconnect that brings up the graphical UI).
Mozilla has since made major updates to Collusion in the form of Lightbeam (a Firefox add-on). The Disconnect graphs are now much more like to the original Collusion and the Lightbeam graphs are brand new. But other than the visual differences, Disconnect and Lightbeam are functionally alike (Disconnect is also available on platforms other than Firefox: Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE, iOS, and [sort of] Android).
