Re: Firefox track it

Post by jennywren »

I use Google chrome for surfing but before that I use fire fox, so to test how many people was tracking me on fire fox with their( track it add on,) so for for 5 hours yesterday during the day I used Fire Fox and was amazed how many company's was watching where I was going on the web. 717 total in five hours. The main places where I went was here, Daily Mail, my emails and a couple of places suppliers, and one place to check a recipe. I find that quite scary, Give a go you'll be surprised. Mind you I've never figured out why my spam is Viagra and cheap bloody watches and a couple of others that like the spam I never visit. I'm tempted to stay with fire fox as they block them the advertise's from seeing where you go, Facebook also tracks me, the add on does gives names of tracking you. Google chrome are bring that add on next year, make me wonder why they are taking so long,

I have worked for a company that used this softwate for marketing and optimisation stuff - so if you visited a holiday site, they could tell which sites you visited before you landing on there site, and where you went afterwards... some say an invaluable tool BUT why is this different from bugging phone calls really - and that is illegal... I believe...

Just as a point of interest there is no tracking done on this site
