Extension summary

Analyze keywords

McAfee Anti-tracker prevents companies and advertisers from tracking or collecting your online activity and personal data by masking it in ways a simple VPN or incognito mode fall short.

Companies and advertisers can build a profile around information that your browser sends when you access a webpage. This includes dozens of data points like your geo location, installed plugins, hardware configuration, browsing activity and more, allowing companies to generate a unique ‘fingerprint’ based on your data.

McAfee Anti-tracker will block attempts made by companies to track your data. Additionally, McAfee masks these data points and continuously refreshes your online fingerprint, so you can keep your online activity private.

Trust the most reliable name in online and mobile security to keep you safe and private. Get McAfee today.

Recent reviews

Terrible product. As usual McAfee only sells you half the component and then wants more money to complete the cycle. I get notices that I have over 1400 trackers after installing, but then I need to buy another license to remove trackers. I will not be renewing with McAfee, back to Norton I go!

Pinning the icon is easy if you read the directions. It isn't the pin icon at the bottom of the page but the puzzle with the icon in it at the top. Done correctly it is immediate. I haven't used the tracker security yet, only pinned the icon to my taskbar.

Purchased June 27, the receipt shows the following : Starts: Saturday, February 1, 2025 Expires: Sunday, February 1, 2026 That is ridiculous. Seeking full refund.
