Web Census Notebook: A new tool for studying web privacy

As part of the Web Transparency and Accountability Project, we’ve been visiting the web’s top 1 million sites every month using our open-source privacy measurement tool OpenWPM. This has led to numerous worrying findings such as the systematic abuse of newly introduced web features for fingerprinting, leading to better privacy tools and occasionally strong responses from browser vendors.

Enabling research is great — OpenWPM has led to 14 papers so far — but research is slow and requires expertise. To make our work more directly useful, today we’re announcing a new tool to study web privacy: a Jupyter notebook interface and a set of libraries to quickly answer most questions about web tracking by querying the the 500 GB of data we collect every month.
