    I don't know. The idea is great, but by installing this addon you are giving them a live connection to your browser and activities.

    Interesting: -http://www.privacyscore.com/score_details/575892396e094692ae16ddda93652f1f

    That was for privacyscore.com.

    They obviously have a 100 score. :D

    But, if you look at the page source code:

    Why does this sound familiar, somehow? Google Analytics is a tracking service, isn't? ;) Yet, on the score page they claim they detect no trackers...

    Mistakeee? lol
