    Facebook Privacy Watcher is an addon for Mozilla Firefox, that has been developed at Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) in association with TU Darmstadt (Technical University of Darmstadt). It provides a new and very simple interface to manage your privacy settings on Facebook.

    Because the default privacy settings are more and more open with each update, it is very important to easily grasp and change the privacy settings to be protected from unintended oversharing. However, the settings are quite detailed, and thus it’s hard to keep track of them. For every single entry in your profile and your timeline, you can set set the audience to which an object is visible.

    The idea of Facebook Privacy Watcher is, to colorize every single item depending on its visibility to your friends and strangers. So it takes just seconds to recognize and change the privacy settings.
