Techcrunch reports that the Mozilla Corporation is working on a "stealth" web analytics project, which will integrate with the Firefox web browser. The new metrics solution aims to provide accurate and accessible data about website traffic and usage.

According to the article, the project is in a very early stage of development and does not have an official name yet. It will measure site traffic for Firefox users only, but with a market share estimated between 20% and 40% (depending on geographic location and study method), the open source browser provides an impressive user base, and a corresponding large data set.
