If it doesn't match, simply place a HUGE RED "YOU ARE BEING SPIED ON!" banner at the top of the page

In fact it should be possible to create a firefox extension/addon to do it.
But would that work for those of us who will have blocked the webwise domain or, at least, told VM not to 'inspect' our browsing data?
Surely, we won't be getting modified webpages back from sites with OIX adverts?

Won't we need something that'll simply detect the repeat HTTP redirects or weird cookie activity?
