This may be part of a two-step process to avoid wasting bandwidth by displaying
a summary list of all the urls (only the address part, not the directories) the
browser fetched information from in order to display a page.

For example, if you go to http://www.zdnet.com/, you'll find that your browser
went to i.i.com.com, adlog.com.com, and God knows where else, in addition to
www.zdnet.com. Most of the other sites are ad and unwanted sites that, once you
are aware of by looking in the list, you can decide to ban your browser from
ever going to that place again for whatever reason.

That's similar to the cookie privacy thing, but one step before, since a lot of
the cookies I don't want stored in my PC came there from an unwanted site visit
in the first place.

Reproducible: Always

Most of this information (images, iframe, style-sheets, objects, ...) is visible
in Page Info. Other parts (cookies, redirects, ...) are missing though.

This doesn't seem like it's generally useful enough for a core feature.  WONTFIX.
