OpenWPM is a web privacy measurement framework which makes it easy to collect data for privacy studies on a scale of thousands to millions of websites. It's built on top of Firefox, with automation provided by Selenium. It includes deep instrumentation hooks within a Firefox extension to record HTTP request and response data, Javascript calls, and browser storage access.

OpenWPM is currently a Princeton University project in the process of being migrated to Mozilla. Source and docs are available here: https://github.com/citp/OpenWPM
