Helps you visualize your web activity and understand online advertising and tracking.

The Tracking Transparency browser extension helps you better understand the tracking ecosystem, providing you with information about your personal browsing history, topics of webpages you've visited, trackers and advertisements served on those web pages, and your Google My Ad Center information. To enable its visualizations, the extension will store, on your computer, data about your web browsing when the extension is installed. This detailed data will not leave your computer and will not be shared. * may not work well on Apple Silicone (if you have a newer Apple computer). We are working on it. The full privacy policy is available at: https://super.cs.uchicago.edu/trackingtransparency/privacy.html
