Through the browser extensions, users can continue using the browser they are most comfortable with, while still enjoying the increased level of privacy. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, and Edge are supported. Avast AntiTrack helps people manage their online privacy and identity, by giving them control of who can follow them, receive information about them, and also gives users the opportunity to hide their browsing history from trackers through scheduled cleanings.Īvast AntiTrack Premium consists of two parts: a standalone AntiTrack web application, which provides users with an overview of their online privacy status, and browser extensions that plug into their web browsers. The various and advanced techniques used to track users make it challenging to avoid targeting. Recent research conducted by Universities in Lille and Rennes* has shown that nearly 90% of browsers can be uniquely identified using browser fingerprinting. Browser fingerprinting scripts send information to data collectors, including screen resolution, language, time zone, and a list of plugins which can all be used to uniquely and reliably identify site visitors”, said Ondrej Vlcek, CTO & EVP at Avast. “Traditionally, advertisers use cookies to track users, to better target them with ads, but the techniques used to track and build profiles on users have evolved and now include methods like browser fingerprinting. AntiTrack Premium provides transparency and blocks ad tracking, gives users the opportunity to disguise their digital footprint, and allows users to clear their browsing history. Redwood City, CA, February 20 th, 2018 – Avast, the global leader in digital security products, today announced Avast AntiTrack Premium, providing users an easy-to-use solution to control their online identity and privacy.
