Lightbeam is a Firefox addon that enables users to visualize network connections. Lightbeam already does a good job at showing users their network connections. We want to make Lightbeam even more powerful by translating this information into a human-understandable format: who is tracking you, and what can you do about it? The [https://github.com/mozilla/lightbeam/wiki/Lightbeam-Roadmap Lightbeam roadmap] discusses improvements to visualization, including per-tab visualization and automatically identifying tracking domains. | |||

In Lightbeam, once we have the ability to automatically identify tracking domains, we can offer people the option to disallow network connections to those domains. This work is tracked in the [https://github.com/mozilla/lightbeam/wiki/Lightbeam-Roadmap Lightbeam roadmap]. | |||
Lightbeam currently has 500K active daily installations. We eventually want to make Lightbeam features available to all Firefox users. Experiments in Lightbeam will serve as a valuable testing ground for determining the best user experience for tracking protection. Although Firefox already supports DoNotTrack, the DNT is not enforceable on the client side. With our learnings from Lightbeam, we can port the most useful tracking protection features to Firefox to make DNT "with teeth" available to more people. | |||
