Mozilla -- Introducing Collusion
Mozilla ^ | March 1, 2012

I installed it and visited several sites.

My Collusion graph is still empty. I'm not being tracked.

9 out of 10 times it seems to be google. Wonder who they pass it on to?

I never accept google analytics cookies. I hope it helps at least a little.

Hmmm...do you use Google at al?

Or do you allow cookies at all?

Womder just exactly HOW "tracking " is implemented.

Maybe it is only for Windows.

I wish Mozilla would rewrite the Camino Browser to optimize it for the new Apple OS

Ghostery blocked it, or the photobucket spot would have a red ring.

The output graph has been interesting to watch just today.
