This version is particularly special as it is associated with a 2024 PETS research paper release.

Research Paper

  • Title: Website Data Transparency in the Browser
  • Authors: Sebastian Zimmeck (Wesleyan University), Daniel Goldelman (Wesleyan University), Owen Kaplan (Wesleyan University), Logan Brown (Wesleyan University), Justin Casler (Wesleyan University), Judeley Jean-Charles (Wesleyan University), Joe Champeau (Wesleyan University), Hamza Harkous (Google)
  • Summary: Data collection by websites and their integrated third parties is often not transparent. We design privacy transparency interfaces for the browser to help people understand who is collecting which data from them. We implement a privacy popup, a privacy history interface, and a watchlist to notify people of data collection in our proof of concept browser extension, Privacy Pioneer.

Pre-release

Per the discussion yesterday with @davebaraka, @rgoldstein01, and @notowen333, we decided to develop a browser extension for users instead of a developer tool. This release marks the code of the developer tool so far.
