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. It uses some of the same Internet Explorer facilities as Privacy Bird, and presents results with a similar balance of approachability and charm as opposed to technical detail. But these two IE add-ons are concerned with different parts of the web privacy question.
