uBO-Scope: Monitor Your 3rd-Party Web Exposure Score

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.
