Firefox will now tell who spies on users

[Игорь Коракс]

For the Firefox browser, a new Collusion application has been released, which in real time shows how advertisers track users' movements on the Internet.

The plugin was introduced by Mozilla Foundation CEO Gary Kovacs, speaking at the annual TED conference in California, USA. Collusion presents data in the form of a web that grows with the advent of new sites. When the application sees "spy", it indicates the advertiser in red. At the same time, spy scripts can be connected with each other, and collect data from two or more resources at once.

In the demo version of the plugin, such links are shown on the example of the popular news sites The New York Times and The Huffington Post, IMDb movie database, GameSport video game publications and Reference.com. The information that advertising companies collect allows them to "target" ads to a specific audience, based on the history of search queries, websites visited, and information about purchases in online stores.

However, such data is usually anonymous, and in some cases can be useful (for example, to display relevant content). Note the time, Collusion works in experimental mode - the application shows spies so far, but does not prevent them.
