Security and Usability: Privacy Analysis for the Casual User With Bugnosis

Overview Bugnosis is a Privacy Analysis Tool for the Typical end user. Like Privacy Bird , Bugnosis is a benevolent snoop: it taps into the user's web browser so that it can deduce the privacy characteristics of the web sites the user visits.

But these two IE add-ons are concerned with different parts of the web privacy question.
