4wd: default Collusion settings under 'filters' is "show cookie-based connections" and "show non-cookie-based connections" both enabled - for me, that shows a node for every site I've visited (and 3rd party sites those sites have pulled resources from...) - the only edge at the moment is DoCo<>PayPal, though.-f0dder (March 11, 2013, 08:02 AM)

Always have had those options enabled, I get nothing if I visit a site.  I might play around and see what I have to disable to get some nodes.

Those options do say "connections" though, I would have thought that meant you had to have at least a connected pair.

....it's only really useful to open it in a tab, look a bit at the graph, and close the tab again.

That's the only way I use it, I usually forget it's running for weeks at a time unless I've specifically installed something I want to test against it - then I'll check it every few days.

Or perhaps what I really want is an "advanced" mode that lets me do some regex matching :)

That'd be nice....I look forward to "f0dder's Referer Mangler"  ;D

f0dder:
4wd: I think I've figured out why I get the Collusion behavior I do. Instead of blocking referrer by default, I had it said to spoof to a google.com address. I normally hit google.dk, so while referrer links pointed to www.google.com/somethingsomething, I had never actually visited that address. I think that could explain why Collusion shows a bubble for each site, but pointing to nothing.

After I visited google.ae (to make sure it existed) and set the spoofed referrer to hxxp://google.ae/search?q=midget+nazi+porn , all visited sites after that link to (surprise surprise) google.ae. This does look quite festive, but it also means Collusion is extremely slow - and the graph isn't very useful for spotting actual referrer problems. I guess it
would be saner to block by default rather than spoofing, but... spoofing is funnier :-[

I think I already have some ideas for improvements, but I'm already spread pretty thin, and have never looked at extension development before. And I'd hate forking an extension, making some changes, and then not keeping it up to date. I also kinda think some of the ideas I have would be too large in scope for the RefControl author wanting to include it in his pretty lightweight plugin.

I'll mull a bit over this :)

EDIT: just reset Collusion and changed default RefControl action to block, visiting new sites pops up the individual bubbles again. I think I'll keep the setting at block - easier to see connections that way. And while Collusion slows to a crawl even with just the individual bubbles, adding edges (and the "node pull" that incurs) makes it even slower :)

In addition to Adblock Plus, NoScript, Ghostery, Cookie Monster and RequestPolicy, I also use RefControl, which may be of interest to y'all. Together they make browsing new sites pretty painful, but once a site is set up how you like it it's all good.

Thanks for the tip on Collusion.

Ehtyar.

I think you may spawn a whole new competition: "Who can create the most artistic web of Big Data?"

 ;D

Still no idea why I get a completely blank graph but I do run a few anti-trackme addons, (don't forget to turn off 3rd party cookies also), and all cookies are session only, (all data is session only, I don't have any drive based cache).

Addons: AdBlock+, Better Privacy, Change Referer Button, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere, RefControl
Userscripts: Google Hit Hider by Domain, Google Search Better Privacy, Kill AddThis Mouseover, NoMiddleMan, RedirectionHelper, StraightGoogle

One day I'll have to go through them since I'm sure there's duplicated functionality there.

Sounds brilliant ... really secure browsing ... painfully slow and almost no functionality beyond plain text and pictures ;)
