The "known trackers" list is a good start here, but we could also make use of additional information about the site -- e.g. what does privacychoice.org know about their privacy and data-sharing policies? How promiscuous are they with incoming information and outgoing information? How frequently does it slurp data in? etc.

The judgment of the site's sketchiness level could be used to further color-code the site, or if we implement picture-in-picture, the browser could show the site's sketchiness level when you visit it (similar to Ghostery).
