AdTech Mirror — See What Trackers See

AdTech Mirror passively watches what advertising and analytics scripts try to learn about you as you browse, and turns it into a plain-language report — entirely on your own device. Nothing is ever sent anywhere.

What It Detects

  • Third-party trackers — flags requests to ~50 known ad networks, ad exchanges, SSPs/DSPs, data management platforms, identity-resolution services, and data brokers (Google/DoubleClick, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Amazon Advertising, The Trade Desk, PubMatic, Magnite, Criteo, Adobe Audience Manager, Oracle BlueKai, LiveRamp, ID5, FingerprintJS, and many more), categorized by type.

  • Browser fingerprinting — detects when scripts try to fingerprint your device via Canvas rendering, WebGL/GPU parameters, AudioContext processing, font enumeration, the Battery API, and sensitive navigator properties (hardware concurrency, device memory, languages, etc.).

  • ID syncing — flags requests where tracking IDs appear to be shared between ad companies behind the scenes ("cookie syncing"), a key mechanism for linking your identity across services.

  • Cross-site identity linking — shows which trackers followed you across multiple different sites, indicating they could be building a unified profile of your browsing.

  • Outbound link leakage — notes when clicking a link sends your referrer/page info to an ad/tracking domain.

The Dashboard

A small floating button (🛰️) opens a report showing:

  • Summary stats (sites visited, days logged, unique trackers, fingerprint attempts, ID syncs)
  • Top trackers ranked by frequency and number of sites they appeared on
  • A breakdown of which fingerprinting techniques were used and how often
  • A "synthetic profile" section that explains, in plain English, what a composite tracker-built profile of you might look like based on the data collected
  • An activity timeline
  • Export everything to JSON or CSV, or clear all data with one click

Privacy

All data is stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB (90-day auto-pruning). The script makes no network requests of its own and sends no data anywhere — it only observes traffic and API calls your browser is already making as you browse normally.

Use Cases

  • Understand, with real evidence from your own browsing, how much of the "surveillance economy" touches your daily life
  • Identify which sites are heaviest with trackers before deciding whether to use them
  • Educational tool for learning how RTB, fingerprinting, and ad-tech data flows actually work in practice

Notes

The tracker domain list is not exhaustive and may need updates as ad-tech vendors change. This is a passive observation tool — it does not block anything (pair it with uBlock Origin if you also want blocking). Works best if left running for at least a week or two of normal browsing before checking the report and this script is NOT perfect.
