The word “net” means the great “INTERNET” which I consider as a different world,
which is very much similar to our world in which we live. I like to say the internet
world as Cyber-World.
Now coming back to the topic , I want to directly focus on
what is the main intention of this blog.
I want to start the problem with a small introduction to a
real world problem.
In a real world , if someone(stranger) is following you or keeping
a watch on you, then “HOW” would you able to know??
Answer is straight forward and that is you can identify them
easily as they can be around you always.
Now let’s take this problem into the Cyber-World(The world
of internet) and ask yourself the same question. “If someone is following you
or keeping a watch on you, then “HOW” would you able to know?”
I guess your faces would be like these…..hahaha... I don't know about
you but my reaction at first was the same like these kids...... ;-)
Well , there are
different ways to solve this issue and I will show you one of them.
You will need following.
1)
A computer or laptop…….:-D
2)
An internet connection.
3)
Mozilla Firefox.
Open “FIREFOX” browser ,open "google.com" and
type “collusion add on” in the search bar.
Click on the first link as shown above and
you will get somewhat as shown below..
Just click on “Add to Firefox” and it will get installed. (YOU SHOULD BE IN FIREFOX and NOT IN ANY
OTHER BROWSER like CHROME or INTERNET EXPLORER)
Now after installing it in your firefox browser , you will get a small icon at
the bottom right of your browser as shown below..
This add-on's name is “Collusion” .
It helps you to know that who is keeping eye on you and your data when you are
online(surfing on net) .
There are many websites , some legal and some
illegal , which keeps track of your data and keeps tracking your activities.
“Collusion add-on” will show you that who
is tracking your activities and who is keeping watch on your data…
I will try to explain you this addon on
basis of my usage of “Collusion”
For clarity , here’s activity screenshot from my laptop.
The highlighted circles shows the websites
that you actually visited.
The grey type circles represent the sites
that you have not visited.
The lines between circles show our cookies
and all stuff that is passed between them.
When you click on these circles , this add-on will show you the information related to that site.
Look at the image above………
I have just visited 7 to 8 websites and the
number of websites that started tracking my data are more than 20……What the Heck !!!! Aren’t
you shocked ….?
Why would you shock as these websites are actually tracking my data…. :-D :-D
But my dear buddies….Right now you are
reading this blog , which means you are on the internet , so someone must have
already started watching you…..Be-Aware....!!
That's all for this time.... Will be back soon with something which needs to be shared.
......Bye....
Surf Safe.....Be Safe.
