The add-on works by recording what websites you visit and what third-parties are connected to those websites, and then displaying that information in a visually appealing and digestible format. Lightbeam offers three modes for visualizing this information: graph, clock, and list.

| WordPress 3.7 Launches With Background Updates, Stronger Passwords & More Posted: 27 Oct 2013 08:15 AM PDT  WordPress is one of the best blogging platforms with a host of useful plugins, and it’s just had a major update.
