uBO-Scope Extension
Release notes: https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Scope/releases
***
To inform you about your own third-party exposure on the web pages you visit through a third party exposure score.
Third-party (\"3rd-party\") exposure is quite an important component of the more general concept of privacy exposure.
In the scope of uBO-Scope, \"3rd-party\" is defined as follow:
A network request to a remote server which has a different base domain name than the base domain name of the URL in the address bar is deemed \"3rd-party\".
A 3rd-party exposure score is derived not only from the number of distinct third parties on a web page, but also from the ubiquitousness of each of these distinct third parties.
