It’s difficult to keep your information private these days considering how many advertisers, companies and social networks are probably after your data these days.
But before you panic, there are a number of tools that you can use so as to protect your privacy.
For starters, you can use 3 of these browser extensions for a variety of reasons, and they are:
#1: Abine Do Not Track Me
This extension protects your browsing activity by preventing third-party tracking of cookies apart from other methods. In fact, this extension has blocked almost 1 million attempts by both ad and social networks to track user information ever since it was released in 2011.
Installing it is free but if you want additional features, you can pay $5 every month and protect your email address, phone number and credit card number whenever you fill up web forms.
#2: HTTPS Everywhere
Most websites encrypt browsing sessions automatically using HTTPS – usually, this pertains to popular services and sites like Facebook and Google. However, not all sites that support HTTPS use it.
This is where HTTPS Everywhere comes in and which when installed forces browsers to use the HTTPS encryption if the website allows it.
#3: Click&Clean
This extension protects your PC by offering a one-click erase for your browser cache, downloads, cookies, flash cookies, temporary Internet files and browsing history.
However, this is not all that the extension offers and the company recommends reading its quick start guide so that you can get more out of its configuration by erasing just about everything you want as much as possible.
