I built a tool that lets you see which servers you communicate with every time you open a webpage.

Website Roots

Every time you open a website, you communicate with at least one server to load the site. Which servers you interact with depends on the webpage you load. While some of the servers are used to load the content, some are used to keep track of you through the web. Furthermore, it is not at all or difficult to find out which information are shared with the respective servers. Shouldn't a website tell you which information it shares with what companies in a transparent and understandable way? I built a tool that lets you easily see which servers you communicate with every time you open a webpage.
