Lightbeam - See who’s tracking you online

I heard about this on an article I saw about The Verge being packed full of data-heavy advertising (http://blog.lmorchard.com/2015/0... - makes interesting reading). From there: "Lightbeam is a Firefox add-on that uses interactive visualizations to show you the first and third party sites you interact with on the Web."

interesting. seems like something ghostery also does. no?

Was excited about this until that I saw it was exclusively on Firefox.

really interesting add-on, let me try.

It looks really neat! It's still not quite sufficient for me to migrate from Chrome though. Has anyone found it useful in some way?

Good to see that the recent conversations surrounding ad tech are starting to make a difference. I'm not anti-ads, but I'm anti-bad tech. Hopefully products like this one and others that are starting to gain traction can push ad companies to do something.
