- run large-scale web privacy audits
- collect browser fingerprinting data for research
- crawl websites to study third-party trackers
- automate Firefox for privacy measurement studies
- analyze online tracking behavior at scale
When to choose
- you need to conduct large-scale web privacy or tracking measurement studies
- you want automated Firefox-based browsing with instrumentation hooks
