This is an add-on for Firefox that helps to visualize sites that may be tracking you around the internet. The add-on is available from If you only want to see the demo, you don't need any of these; all you need is a modern browser. This will start Firefox with a temporary profile that has Lightbeam installed. Just click on the Lightbeam icon at the bottom-right of the browser window to open the web front-end. At this point, any changes you make to the web front-end simply require reloading the tab containing it. Changing the add-on, however, will require quitting Firefox and running jpm run again. The following software is bundled with the repository and doesn't need to be manually obtained.

Lightbeam (anciennement Collusion) est une ancienne extension libre pour Mozilla Firefox qui permet de visualiser interactivement les requêtes vers les sites tiers ainsi que les cookies déposés par ces derniers avec lesquels l'internaute a interagi. Lightbeam propose une visualisation interactive permettant de voir les relations entre ces sites tiers et les sites visités. Il s’agit donc, d’un outil qui permet de pister les pisteurs. Cette extension détecte uniquement le pistage via les techniques de site tiers et de cookies mais ne prétend pas détecter le pistage dans sa globalité.
