I'm curious - after the first few "wow, nice visualization!", how does this add-on improve the experience of someone already running add-ons like Disconnect or Ghostery?



Well, you could make sure they're working? Or double-check that none of your whitelisted sites are doing anything too suspicious. Or maybe just for gloating :)


It does not seem to monitor actual requests but only references. I block a lot of domains but they still appeared in this add-on.


How are you blocking them? Sites blocked by RequestPolicy and Ghostery don't show up.


In my router! I guess it returns a.status that the tool interprets successful connection.


It probably counts when the request is made, without waiting for a connection to be successful.
