Another method sites collude is by embedding 3rd party resources (small transparent gifs, iframes, Facebook like buttons) etc. inside pages. Would it be possible to have Firefox note the loading of resources from sources not on the current domain, and integrate this data with the Collusion graph? (Need to do some research on the frequency of "false positives", i.e. innocuous uses of 3rd party includes that are not really tracking.)
