What is uBO-Scope?

uBO-Scope is a unique Firefox add-on specially designed to provide you with an informed perspective about your online exposure. It calculates your third-party exposure score for the websites you visit with an aim to enhance your digital privacy. The lower the score, the better. It works on the principle of defining a third-party request as any network request to a remote server that carries a different base domain name than that of the URL in the address bar. uBO-Scope does amazing work in observing network traffic without altering it in any way.

The popup panel of this extension may sometimes be affected by an issue which has been fixed in Firefox 57: "WebExtension browser action popup scrolls to the top on changing an element's style" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1324499
