When you install or use the Poper Blocker Product, we collect from you: the type of device, operating system and browsers you are using; the date and time stamp; the browsing usage, including visited URLs, clickstream data or web address accessed; TabID; the browser identifier; and your Internet Protocol address (trimmed and hashed so that it cannot be used to identify you).

Ha ha ha! Jokes on you.

Now I know why SimilarWeb is so much more accurate than Alexa (or, in my experience, SpyFu or SEMRush) for small and medium sites. In addition to the agreements with ISPs that the others have, instead of simply asking people to install the Alexa toolbar (does this even exist aymore?), they buy popular extensions, ad spyware and push them back out to the world.

And apps.

The lesson, once again, is to leave your desktop or phone unmodified.

That just mod'd a site's css, right?  For desktops, I highly recommend *monkey userscripts.  Be forewarned, though, it's addictive.
