WARNING They are watching you! Tracking the trackers
[I am] not even two bites into breakfast, and there are already nearly
25 sites that are tracking me. I have navigated to a total of four.” (Gary Kovacs)
As you surf the Web, information is
being collected about you. Web tracking is not 100% evil -- personal
data can make your browsing more efficient; cookies can help your
favorite websites stay in business. But, says Gary Kovacs, it's your
right to know what data is being collected about you and how it affects
your online life. He unveils a Firefox add-on to do just that.
Gary Kovacs is the CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, where he directs the development of Firefox.
