TrackMeNot Description
A Firefox add-on that protects users from search data profiling Protects users against search data profiling by issuing randomized queries to popular search-engines.TrackMeNot is a lightweight browser extension that helps protect web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. It does so not by means of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one's tracks), but instead, paradoxically, by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation.With TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are essentially hidden in plain view. User-installed TrackMeNot works with the Firefox Browser and popular search engines (AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and MSN) and requires no 3rd-party servers or services.NOTE: The TrackMeNot is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Requirements: · Firefox 1.5 to 3.5.* What's New in This Release: · Support Firefox 3.5
