While installing the latest Firefox beta, the browser suggested a plugin called Lightbeam (by Mozilla).

Quote:
Using interactive visualizations, Lightbeam allows you to see the first and third party sites you interact with on the Web. As you browse, Lightbeam reveals the full depth of the Web today, including parts that are not transparent to the average user. Using two distinct interactive graphic representations — Graph and List — Lightbeam enables you to examine individual third parties, identify where they connect to your online activity and provides ways for you to engage with this unique view of the Web.
Just being here on LQ, 2 other websites have a record of me being here.

Going to http://www.whatsmybrowser.org/, 8 other websites tracked me.
