Is it still paranoia if everyone really is watching you? Most of us are likely aware at this point that unless we take some fairly extensive precautions, we’re always being watched in one way or another while browsing the Web. What you might not be aware of, however, is the shocking number of services that monitor us on nearly every website we visit.
Ghostery Privacy Browser is coming to Android. Ghostery is known for creating browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera that provides privacy for your web browsing habits. Ghostery Privacy Browser will be a standalone Android browser and not a browser extension.
Its desktop 'benefit' over Incognito is it alerts you to cross site tracking etc. and shows you which companies are attempting to load tracking cookies. Not huge for me but I guess some might like it.
With all the scandal around Tor and stuff, people will jump at the occasion. Even though...
Mashable- Whenever discussion starts about how to hide from the tracking code that follows users around the web to serve them targeted ads, recommendations soon pile up for a browser add-on called Ghostery. It blocks tracking code, noticeably speeds up how quickly pages load as a result and has roughly 19 million users. Yet few of those who advocate Ghostery as a way to escape the clutches of the online ad industry realize that the company behind it, Evidon, is in fact part of that selfsame industry.
I didn't even know that these ad blockers decrease the impressions and thereby saving the Advertiser's money. :P
