When I open the Collusion plugin page, LWN does not show up as any of the little circles?

I believe that's just a demo. Items show up there whether you've visited them or not, just to demo the functionality and shiny circles.

I'm still struggling to figure out what the addon actually does, but noscript/adblock/no 3rd party cookies may be hampering it...

With noscript+requestpolicy I see just 3 icons after browsing a large number of sites. And I had to whitelist connections from the addon.

If this is a "scare people into installing requestpolicy" tool then it may have a use, but otherwise not so much.

I wonder how you did that. I've got noscript, cookiemonster, adblocker, better privacy and firebug installed. Collusion stays completely inert, even for pages that are whitelisted and actually do crossite cookies.

Same picture both under Linux and Windows FF.

Where/how did you whitelist the addon?

This was in requestpolicy. I already allow local scripts in noscript, so there was no need to change that.

Thank you. I've been a user of NoScript for some time but didn't know about RequestPolicy.
