Browser extension for Firefox which enables the TrackMeNot feature, possibly avoiding some privacy issues on sites which collect personally-identifiable information.
TrackMeNot is a freeware browser addon app and developed by Daniel C. Howe, Helen Nissenbaum for Windows. It's pretty good at protecting your privacy.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC.
Helps protect privacy for users browsing the web
TrackMeNot is a lightweight browser extension that helps protect web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. It does so not by means of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one's tracks), but instead, paradoxically, by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation.
With TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are essentially hidden in plain view. User-installed TrackMeNot works with Firefox and Chrome browsers and popular search engines (AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and Bing) and requires no 3rd-party servers or services.
Compatibility and License
TrackMeNot is provided under a freeware license on Windows from Firefox addons with no restrictions on usage. Download and installation of this PC software is free and 0.10.46 is the latest version last time we checked.
What version of Windows can TrackMeNot run on?
TrackMeNot can be used on a computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems with no dedicated 64-bit download provided.
