Comments and Reviews
It's a great way of using an easy-to-understand format in the form of visuals to show the user's relations to the internet and who follows along on their online journey. One thing to know it ISN'T an app to protect against trackers only to VISUALIZE who and what follows you according to the sites you visit.
Just be aware that when Firefox Multi-account Containers is installed, Lightbeam only shows data for "No container" tabs.
