Top anti-tracking extensions

The truth of modern tracking is that it happens in so many different and complex ways it’s practically impossible to ensure absolute tracking protection. But that doesn’t mean we’re powerless against personal data harvesters attempting to trace our every online move. There are a bunch of Firefox browser extensions that can give you tremendous anti-tracking advantages… 

Sophisticated and effective anti-tracker that doesn’t require any setup whatsoever. Simply install Privacy Badger and right away it begins the work of finding the most hidden types of tackers on the web. 

Automatically learns to block hidden trackers. Made by the leading digital rights nonprofit EFF to stop companies from spying on you.

Produced by leading edge digital rights organization Electronic Frontier Foundation, Privacy Badger sends Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track opt-out signals to third parties trying to monitor your moves around the web. If those signals are ignored, Privacy Badger blocks them. This fantastic privacy extension also removes outgoing link tracking on Facebook and Google.
