Running a fork of OpenWPM on your Mac

Running a fork of OpenWPM on your Mac Natively

OpenWPM is a brilliant piece of software for running large-scale website crawls using a remotely controlled browser (Firefox) instead of utilizing a classic web scraping tool. It can easily be extended to collect any sort of data that a browser can collect and comes pre-configured to collect information regarding fingerprinting-related Javascript executions and first/third-party website traffic. The resulting data ends up in a SQLite database (for smaller data collections) or stored in JSON format in the cloud (for large scale data collections).
