I like the idea, but i have one big problem with Whatsrun:

it is capturing my browsing behaviour because it sends any URL i browse in the background to the whatsrun.com server, even when i don't want to know what software the page is running (means clicking the icon), so Whatruns get's a full browsing history from me (and you even set a UUID cookie to track unique users!).

This is a huge privacy issue! Imagine Whatruns is starting to sell this data!

To replicate simply open the dev-console for the extension and click the network tab.

Thanks! No visitor information is ever logged. We don't collect or log any visitor information including IP address, location etc. We receive anonymous website data and match with our database to display the results. I'm sure you noticed that we filter out any text content before sending HTML tags ‘anonymously’ for technology identification. This speeds up the process and is responsible for the speed WhatRuns has achieved.

Hope this clarifies. Drop us a line if you still have any concerns, would love to clear it for you: hello [at] whatruns.com
