As the name suggests about:me is a Firefox extension which is all about you. In fact it’s only purpose is to tell you more about your own browsing trends. About:me utilizes the data stored in Firefox’s History to present detailed statistics about your surfing habits.

At first glance about:me reminds me of web metrics like Google Analytics. It may not be the most useful extension available, but it’s definitely visually appealing and interesting.
