Improve Your Web Browsing Security

These days, when you’re browsing websites there can be a stack of cookies being downloaded to your computer by ad tracking sites in order to serve up targeted advertisements. Social network applets, whilst they can make it really convenient to share content with friends and see what friends have liked. can also do the same thing.

Of course, you could go to each and every ad tracking website and opt out of being tracked but that isn’t really a workable solution given the vast number of them.

One more viable solution would be to use the DoNotTrackMe plugin from Abine – it’s available for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome and Safari (no dice for Opera users). All you need to do is install it, restart your browser(s) and you’re as safe as houses as far as cookies are concerned.

DoNotTrackMe is free but there are plans for a future premium version which sounds as if will attract a fee but will potentially offer capabilities above and beyond the standard version . However, according to Apine DoNotTrackMe will always come in a free version but worth keep tabs upon.

My name is Boyd and I’m a Service Management Specialist with a knack for operational data gathering, transformation, analysis and reporting.

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).

I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.

I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.

I have also written and edited articles for Neowin - you can check out my articles over @ https://www.neowin.net/news/poster/boyd_chan

I hope you enjoy reading my blog!
