I noticed something while browsing that peaked my curiosity.

As I browse through pages and websites, various items appear momentarily and then disappear in the status bar of my browser (FF). I have never paid them any attention until today when I spotted "Read veterperementour.ru". See pic below.

While I have Google as my homepage the text in the status bar appears whenever I move from one site to another, not just when I move from a Google page to another site.

So, I am wondering what is going on here

. Have Google installed some kind of tracking software? Are they analysing my every move? Should I be concerned? Should I be wearing a tin-foil hat?

Any of our more Web-Wise members know what this is all about?

TIA

No their not tracking you individually just collecting stats of how many people visit which sites...all tied into marketing and revenue for advertising etc

If you want them to track you individually just start using their browser Chrome...many say their EULA agreement is a privacy nightmare

Their similar in certain respects to the other sites I know that collect stats on website traffic except their method is different

All explained on wiki in far more detail

Google-analytics - purely by using google

alexa - requires toolbar use

Qantcast - requires websites to insert code on their sites

Google-analytics is commonly the last object your browser fetches, but it is often not the slowest object on the page. It tends to appear for the longest time only because the browser processes the targets in order. You are usually actually waiting for something else to load, but Google-analytics gets stuck with the blame since it appears last in the HTML layout.

Using No/Script (In Firefox) blocks the domain from scripting data from you anyway

See i have Planet Suzy allowed , but blocking google analytics & pimp & host

Glad this came up - I thought I had caught a virus or something. Maybe I was being stalked by da Google (see below).

Thanks guys. Having read butsie's reply it would appear that I wont need to wear the tinfoil hat that I had prepared with so much care

.

While I get the gist of what is going on, I'm not really sure where Google-Analytics is coming from. Is it part of FireFox, or is it script that is installed by web-sites?

Just curious.

It comes from the website, usually from ads on the site. Google offers the service to websites for no monetary cost, since they draw value from the statistics instead.
