The site you see in the address bar is usually the site your browser connects to in order to bring the web page. However, the page may include several components. Each component can send data to several sites including sites other than the site you see in the address bar. CallingID shows you where the data you enter in a specific field on the web page will go. You may choose to see all the sites that may receive information from you by selecting ‘Show all sites that may receive data from a page I visit’ in ‘Advanced Options’.
