uBO-Scope

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

uBO-Scope: Your Third-Party Web Exposure Measuring Tool

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.

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
