uBO-Scope

A tool to measure your 3rd-party exposure score for web sites you visit.

What is uBO-Scope?

uBO-Scope is a unique Chrome extension that supports web navigation privacy by calculating your third-party exposure on websites you browse. By defining a '3rd-party' request as one made to a server having a different base domain name than the URL in the address bar, it generates an exposure score. This score isn't just based on the count of unique third parties but also on the pervasiveness of each. The extension alerts you about your exposure, thereby enhancing your web privacy.

To inform you about your own third-party exposure on the web pages you visit through a third party exposure score.

Third-party ("3rd-party") exposure is quite an important component of the more general concept of privacy exposure.

In the scope of uBO-Scope, "3rd-party" is defined as follow:

A network request to a remote server which has a different base domain name than the base domain name of the URL in the address bar is deemed "3rd-party".

A 3rd-party exposure score is derived not only from the number of distinct third parties on a web page, but also from the ubiquitousness of each of these distinct third parties.

I use it all the time to see the exposure ... I do not understand :) why refreshing the page on some sites reduces the number of 3rd party exposure !! I dont think there is another extension which provides this information about sites! Thank you for the Extension. Regards
