OpenWPM is a web privacy measurement framework that makes it easy to collect data for privacy studies on a scale of thousands to millions of websites. OpenWPM is built on top of Firefox, with automation provided by Selenium. It includes several hooks for data collection. Check out the instrumentation section below for more details. OpenWPM is tested on Ubuntu 18.04 via TravisCI and is commonly used via the docker container that this repo builds, which is also based on Ubuntu. Although we don't officially support other platforms, conda is a cross-platform utility and the install script can be expected to work on OSX and other Linux distributions. OpenWPM does not support windows. The main pre-requisite for OpenWPM is conda, a cross-platform package management tool.
