Abstract
A web browser detects a network privacy threat associated with communications for retrieving a resource from a remote system before the resource is retrieved from the remote system. In connection with detecting the network privacy threat, the web browser automatically retrieves personal information associated with a user of the computing device, generates a privacy threat warning comprising a representation of the retrieved personal information, a representation of the remote system, and a representation of a third-party threat positioned in-between the representation of the personal information and the representation of the remote system, and provides the privacy threat warning for display at the computing device before retrieving the resource from the remote system.
