RE: 👻 Ghostery - How To Protect Yourself From Internet Tracking

in #security7 years ago

Thanks.
After my last message to you, I used my antivirus to clean out all cookies, etc., and enabled the add on and it works, only slowing me down a little. I switched off last night and switched on this morning. No purple icons, but I see it is still enabled, so I won't touch it.

The XP I have has been fixed so as to close holes deliberately left open and a lot of reporting code was removed, so I am not willing to change. I tried the Tor latest and it also works, so if necessary, I'll move to that for most of my surfing (getting a much faster connection early next year, so maybe then).

Thank you for your willingness to help.

Awesome! Have a look in step 3. and 6. of the post to see how to access the settings. Then you can check out if the purple box is enabled. But it is merely a notification box. Even without it, by clicking on the blue ghost on the top right corner of your browser window, you can see what trackers it has actually found on the current active page :) Cheers!
