I use this one  https://flightaware.com/

Similar to what you posted. I think the Flight Aware one has a few more features and options.

I use flightaware at work to track our inbounds. Occasionally it shows it still 5 minutes out when it's taxiing to the gate....

Flightradar24 is pretty slick. I haven't used it much to know all it's little features...

I have flightradar24 also [ amongst others] but have not used it much so haven't figured everything out either.

In the summer, my wife and I would sit on the deck with a laptop, watching Flightaware. You can accurately track and visually ID the planes as they go over. Once an Air Berlin went over at 35000' from JFK, and you could clearly see the red empennage....

Flightaware.

One can use it to track airline flights of people you are picking up, just to see estimated arrival time.  The airborne ticker data is about 10 minutes behind from where the aircraft actually is.  But as soon as the aircraft touches down the data catches up.

Many corporate aircraft will have the data blocked though, corporate privacy of business and all.

Great resource.
