POCLAB Browser Privacy Report wót POCLAB

POCLAB Privacy Report turns your Firefox privacy setup into an easy-to-understand health check.

Instead of just telling you how many trackers were blocked, it looks at your core privacy settings, calculates a score out of 100, and explains what to change (and why) to harden your browser without drowning you in jargon.

What it checks

POCLAB Privacy Report reads a handful of built-in privacy settings and summarizes them into a single posture report:

Tracking Protection & Cookies

Enhanced Tracking Protection mode (e.g., always, private windows only, off)

Cookie behavior (trackers, third-party cookies, partitioning, allow-all)

HTTPS & Network

HTTPS-Only Mode (always / private windows / disabled)

Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal

Fingerprinting Protection

Whether “resist fingerprinting” is enabled to reduce unique browser signals

Extensions Surface Area

Number of installed extensions (excluding this one) to highlight overall attack surface

Password Saving

Whether Firefox is configured to save website passwords by default

Camera & Microphone Hygiene (manual)

A gentle reminder system for how often you’ve reviewed which sites have access to your camera and microphone

Clear step-by-step instructions for how to review and clean up those permissions in Firefox’s own settings

A “I reviewed camera & mic access” button to log the date of your last review

What you see

A privacy score out of 100

A brief summary sentence explaining what that score means
