LittleSnitch also makes you totally paranoid about how almost every piece of software is spying on you without explicit consent.

Also, Microsoft really needs to clean up their domain usage, because it takes 999 permission rules to run Office.

In a similar vein, installing uMatrix makes you (rightfully) paranoid about what web pages are collecting from you. "Wait I can disable 28 Javascript scripts and iframes and the page loads OK?"

Skype is even more fun to watch in Little Snitch with all of its p2p connections. I regularly have 2k+ connections being opened to sync online state.
