I would not have known that on every website I routinely visit that I would be tracked. From two trackers to 15 trackers, it is hard to believe the amount of trackers being blocked just to gain information of my interests for advertisement. After downloading, I was eager to browse the web. I first went to Facebook.com and there were five trackers. On Amazon.com, there were three to four trackers. The last website I tested was pinterest.com. Surprisingly, I found no trackers.
By seeing all the trackers being stopped, I realized that this download is very helpful in the prevention of identify theft or any other malicious Internet actions. For instance, a lot of people like to shop online because it is convenient and easy. If an online shopping website such as Forever21.com has seven trackers, imagine trying to type in your credit card information to confirm your order. Would you feel at ease knowing that there were seven trackers on that website?
