Imagine the web as a giant galaxy where the planets are sites clustered together by likeness, and what you might get is something like The Internet Map. Representing over 350,000 websites from 196 countries and all domain zones at the end of 2011, the map displays over 2 million site links based on topical similarities. Each site is represented by a circle, with size depending on the amount of traffic, and the space between each is determined by frequency, or strength, of the link created when user's jump from one website to another.

The original product, Disconnect, was created by a former engineer at Google and its subsidiary, DoubleClick, Brian Kennish, and a former consumer rights advocate, Casey Oppenheim. It shows users the invisible sites that track their actions on the web and blocks them. According to Kennish, it not only cuts the advertising umbilical cord, but it also reduces the use of bandwidth and increases browser speeds by as much as 27 per cent. A more recent product, Disconnect Search, essentially makes your search terms anonymous.
