Firefox Lightbeam

Anyone install and use this extension? I noticed a link on the Firefox page and was curious. I downloaded it and clicked on the button, which brings up its own tab. Now, whenever I access webpages it will show me, through visualizations, which websites I'm interacting with during that session. Very interesting. I think I might turn this on at the beginning of a day and see what pops up.

This is interesting.

I have NoScript installed, for some sites I will have to "Temporarily allow all this page" two or three times to be able to see a picture, and end up allowing more than a dozen sites.

I will hate to disable NoScript, but I will do it to test this plugin for a couple of days.

I use NoScript, as well. And yes, I have the same two or three click problem you mentioned. The only really annoying problem with NoScript, in my opinion. I tested NoScript on a questionable site a few months back. I temporarily allowed scripts and all of a sudden my AV went bonkers! Nice to see that it works. I am using Lightbeam just so I can see how sites are connected.
