Ping Blocker

Prevents sites from tracking you by blocking the PING request!
Download Install Compare

Ping Blocker is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your online privacy by blocking ping requests used by websites for tracking purposes. It effectively prevents tracking methods such as the navigator.sendBeacon() API, the ping attribute on anchor elements, and the use of <meta> tags with report-to URLs.

With Ping Blocker, you can customize your settings to selectively block specific ping request types and whitelist trusted domains. The extension provides visual feedback via a toolbar icon that switches colors to indicate whether it's active or inactive. Additional features include console logging of blocked URLs for transparent tracking prevention. This tool is essential for users seeking to mitigate invisible tracking mechanisms and improve their browsing security.
