The app’s built-in protections allow users to avoid online trackers and malicious content from infiltrating their devices. These third-party scripts, also known as covert trackers, are stopped from automatically loading, preventing them from collecting and using personal information. The Third-Party Tracker Loading Protection adds an extra layer of security to the already robust safety features of most web browsers.
To ensure your safety, the app automatically applies various encryption methods to the websites you visit. This prevents data theft from Wi-Fi snoopers and network observers, such as your Internet service provider.
With Email Protection, users can block the majority of email trackers from accessing their inbox and using fake email addresses when signing up for online services. This eliminates the need to switch service providers, making Email Protection a valuable tool.
App Tracking Protection prevents hidden app trackers from violating your privacy at any time. While it requires a VPN connection to function, it is not a VPN itself and only runs on the device it is installed on. The app does not collect any personally identifying information.
Fingerprinting, another form of online tracking, is also prevented by the app. By obstructing a company’s ability to create a unique identity for you based on your browser and device settings, you are protected from being tracked and exploited.
The app also blocks tracking cookies from automatically following you across the Internet and recording your activities. These cookies can be used by websites and apps to track and collect your personal information, making it essential to have them blocked automatically.
