Title: Lightbeam
Post by: Skhilled on September 13, 2014, 08:34:45 AM
Here's an Addon for Firefox that is useful if you wish to know what 3rd party sites you interact with on the web...and you may not even know it!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lightbeam/

After you install it, just surf as usual while keeping an extra tab or window open for Lightbeam. Every time you connect to a site it will visually show you that site and all 3rd party sites that you connect with through that site. Try it, it's very interesting!  :happy:
