You didn't show us the results of your third-party tests ;)

Couldn't get it all in one screenshot... And it changes depending on what you just visited the prior 4 website visits. You have to experiment and test visit the sites to find out which sites are giving you good or bad cookies. I don't think it gives you the source like No Script does.

You know what I miss? Firefox "lightbeam". They used to have a visual graph that showed all the domain connections as third party connections and/or a list. And all connections could individually be toggled on or off as you like using this tool. Firefox stopped supporting it for obvious reasons, they were probably bought off because it was too "tell tale" and exposed far too many hidden connections.

But I just noticed that a 3rd party might be now supporting this tool. I am going to try it again and see if it works like it used to, it was absolutely FANTASTIC... Let you know what I find out... :)
