Ghostery

If you want a small, fast, and efficient web browser that is also safe, reliable, and discreet, Ghostery is the answer you seek. It is used by millions of people every day, and it helps keep your private data out of the hands of trackers and others who would use it to invade your privacy. You'll be able to make informed choices regarding the information that you allow websites to see about you, so protecting your private data is a breeze. The software works by reducing the access that third-party entities have to your data as you browse. Other similar solutions take up far more space on the device, and that causes them to use more battery power. Ghostery is so efficient that you might forget that it's doing anything at all. When you visit a site with Ghostery, you'll be shown a list of the trackers at work on the site. You can allow or block any of those trackers with ease, and you can easily manage whitelists so you won't have to approve trackers every time they appear. The software is capable of recognizing more than 4,500 scripts and 2,200 individual trackers. You can also use the software to quickly clear your granular history, cookies, and app cache. Sites can be viewed in either mobile or desktop formats, and you can choose from one of eight preinstalled search engines including Baidu, Google, and many others. For the ultimate in browsing security, you can take advantage of Ghost Mode to view web content without leaving any trace at all. The software requires almost no permissions to run on your device, and it certainly requires fewer permissions than other similar utilities. If you have never had to deal with the problem of internet trackers, the issue is far more prevalent than you might imagine. Almost any time you view a website on a standard web browser, there are trackers that gather data from your activities. You'd probably be surprised to learn what these trackers can find out about you, and they are designed specifically to find as much as they can so advertisers and businesses can determine how best to sell to you. The goal is to build customer profiles that can predict when and if a sale will be made, and a browser like Ghostery makes it much harder for these trackers to find anything they can use. The app also includes an internet speed booster that works by reducing the amount of bandwidth that must be dedicated to tracking technologies, so it works to improve the browsing experience in several ways.
