Passlit Openbook

Stop the trackers behind your spam calls. Passlit Openbook detects and blocks them in real time. Free for Chrome.

Passlit Openbook shows you exactly who's tracking you, by name, in real time. Most privacy tools tell you a number. Openbook tells you who: Google ran 47 trackers, Meta ran 12, a data broker is logging your behavior to resell to advertisers and telemarketers. Every company, named and categorized, on every page you visit. WHY THIS MATTERS Dozens of companies collect data about you on every site you visit. Ad networks, analytics platforms, and data brokers build behavioral profiles without your knowledge. That data gets sold, repackaged, and used to target you with ads, spam calls, and unwanted solicitations. Most tracker blockers stop this silently in the background. Openbook shows you exactly what's happening, then gives you the tools to act on it. WHAT OPENBOOK DETECTS, FREE Openbook identifies trackers across 5 categories: Ad Targeting — networks that follow you across the web to serve targeted ads Data Brokers — companies that buy, sell, and package your behavioral data Analytics — platforms that record your clicks, scrolls, and sessions Social — tracking pixels embedded by social platforms across millions of sites Fingerprinting — tools that identify you without cookies, using your device characteristics On a typical news site, Openbook detects 10 to 30 trackers. On high-traffic sites, often 50 or more.
