Spy on yourself
Ever wonder what type of information Web sites gathered about you when you visited? BrowserSpy allows you to spy on yourself. It tests your Internet browser and computer and reports on your: operating system, browser and version, connection to the Internet, cookie information, versions of various software and more.

Why does it do this? It shows you what other Web sites can potentially find out about you. Of course, most of this information is mundane and harmless. BrowserSpy is best used to identify what needs to be upgraded.

very interesting
... I tried this on both browsers with remarkably different results
i.e. I am on cable - my bandwidth reports as 438 kbps in IE and 589 in NS

Most of my results (on both) were "No or unable to detect" ... I can only imagine that is a good thing (and am thanking my firewall??)

It did find the hundreds of fonts I have installed and a few other things that makes me wonder ... what else?

cheers
