lightbeamData.json.txt

I trained Privacy Badger with about 1,300 of the top websites on the interwebs and with Lightbeam running in the background. I exported the data (attached) and want to import it onto another machine as I didn't get a screenshot of the map.

Remove the .txt if you want to try an import it somehow.

After all of that effort it would be nice to be able to use the data as much as possible. Say, to share with someone a visualization of data.

I wish I could explain how insane this data visualized looks. Like, Firefox will explode if you could load it.

@jawz101 Import data is definitely a nice to have feature. Thank you for creating the issue, I wish we had the bandwidth to work on this now.

Do you mean to report a bug similar to this issue #243?

Of course. If you consider the effect of having a data set as crazy as the attachment it doesn't take much for LightBeam quickly bog your system down. After a few hundred sites with no addons such as uBlock Origin blocking anything, LightBeam quickly becomes a performance hog.

I had taken about 1,300 of the top websites and browsed with Lightbeam and Privacy Badger not only to train train the Privacy Badger heuristics but also so I could visualize it in Lightbeam. The resulting graphic of that file was the most dense image of LightBeam I've seen compared to screenshots in Bing Images of people who have ran Ligthbeam.

@jawz101 So it appears that we need to improve performance for large data sets. I am labelling this issue as an enhancement, to be able to have the Import Data feature, while keeping issue #243 to deal with the performance bug.
