Description

Firefox Lightbeam is a free and open-source, browser-based application that allows users to monitor and analyze their web activities, as well as the activities of third-party tracking companies. It works by collecting and displaying a visual representation of the user's browsing history, showing which websites are tracking them and which third-party companies are involved. It also provides a detailed breakdown of the data that has been collected, including which websites are sending or receiving data, how often they are doing so, and which companies are involved in the tracking. Lightbeam also allows users to set up alerts for when suspicious activity is detected, as well as providing helpful tips about maintaining online privacy and security.
