There have been many news about how companies and websites collect and share personal information about their users. It is difficult to know exactly with whom these companies are sharing our information and for what purpose.
Abine, an online privacy company, announced the launch of their product DNT+ (Do Not Track Plus) on their blog, which claims stops you from being tracked online.
Do Not Track Plus (DNT+) peels back the cover on invisible online tracking and targeted advertising, stopping you from being followed online. And yes, you are being followed: online tracking is a very real thing, even though you can’t see it. It’s time to stop sharing your private information with people you don’t know!
The product is free and appears as an icon in the corner of your browser, telling you how many companies are attempting to collect information about you on each site that you visit.
Do Not Track Plus claims to block 580 different tracking technologies as well as loading some websites up to 4x faster. It will be fascinating to see how popular the product becomes, given all the concerns about online privacy in the media lately, and the fact that it is a free download will no doubt act as an added incentive to use the product.
Take a look at DNT+ in action in the picture below:
