Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Websites collect information on you to build a unique online profile that advertisers can identify you by. Avast AntiTrack warns you when snoopers try to follow you and stops them. Avast AntiTrack stops web trackers from collecting your personal data, and prevents websites and ad networks from creating a profile on you. However, it’s not an ad blocker. Whereas other anti-tracking software might block ads or essential website elements, Avast AntiTrack simply blocks their ability to track you, so you can experience the web as normal — no broken webpages and no annoying “disable your ad blocker to view this page” messages. You can also keep using your favourite browser. Avast AntiTrack prevents you from being tracked on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, Samsung Internet, and more. Avast AntiTrack protects your privacy with the following features: • Reveals who’s trying to track you • Uses anti-fingerprinting technology to disguise your identity • Evaluates how private you are • Doesn’t break websites • Stops targeted ads In a nutshell, we use state-of-the-art algorithms to disguise your “digital fingerprint” (i.e., your unique phone/browser configuration) and prevent you from being individually recognized when you browse the web. This stops advertisers from building an accurate profile on you and learning your real age, religion, medical issues, income, shopping habits, and other highly personal information. With Avast AntiTrack, you can easily: You’d be surprised at what lurks behind the curtains of the websites you visit. Advertisers are hidden there, aggressively recording your behavior and creating a growing profile of you. Avast AntiTrack instantly blocks their tracking attempts and exposes who’s doing it. Your phone configuration and browser settings are unique to you. They’re your digital fingerprints, and you leave them everywhere you go, allowing websites to easily identify you from a crowd of other visitors. We disguise your digital fingerprints to cloak your identity and prevent advertisers from building an accurate profile on you. Get an overview of your privacy status anytime. Just open Avast AntiTrack to see your current privacy score, view a list of the privacy threats we’ve prevented, find out how many tracking cookies are hidden in your browsers, and more. Ad blockers can actually disrupt your browsing by changing website layouts and triggering anti-ad-blocker warnings. Avast AntiTrack doesn’t block ads or mess with how websites look. We simply crush their ability to track you, so you can experience the web as normal — no broken webpages and no annoying “disable your ad blocker to view this page” messages. Whichever browser you use, your privacy is protected. We secure Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, Samsung Internet and more. Alert: AntiTrack can’t work with an active VPN connection. You can only use either AntiTrack or VPN at once, so you choose the one that suits your needs better in a particular situation. VPNs hide your location and secure your internet connection while AntiTrack protects your online behaviour from being tracked and collected. Start your 7 days free trial now!
