What is TrackerControl?
TrackerControl is an open-source web browser extension available for Firefox and Chrome that focuses on protecting user privacy online. It blocks various tracking techniques used by advertising companies, data brokers, and other third-party services to monitor people's browsing histories and build profiles about them.
The extension uses several advanced technical methods such as script blocking, fingerprinting protection, and cookie cleaning to prevent tracking. It also includes regularly updated filter lists that identify and block known tracking services. The blocking applies by default across all sites you visit in the browser.
TrackerControl is developed by a small team of privacy advocates and technologists. As an open-source project, its code is transparent and open to independent audit. The extension requires no user accounts or data sharing. It is a simple but powerful tool for those looking to take control of their privacy during everyday web browsing.
