Re: [Extension] DoNotTrackMe 2.2.5.1205 (DoNotTrackPlus)

said by Gem:

Questions about the software:

1) It really doesn't stop tracking or block trackers, does it?

2) Doesn't it just notify sites that we don't want to be track, leaving it up the trackers themselves to decide whether or not to do so?

The above link that siljaline See Profile posted states:
quote:
Blocking tracking requests is the primary method that DNTMe uses to stop data collection because it’s the strongest one. DNTMe can tell when a website tracker is trying to collect your information, and it then completely blocks those tracking requests from ever being made.
quote:
When DNTM blocks trackers, they can’t collect your personal information. And because they can’t collect your information, they aren’t able to make big data requests that can slow down your browser. The end result of blocking tracking is more privacy and faster browsing. Millions of users worldwide, including our Internet security partners who are powered by our blocking technology, depend on DNT+ to deliver effective privacy controls, and blocking is the most effective tactic.

Hey, it's great to know that they actually block tracking rather than simply requesting that we not be tracked.
