Deep Tracking Blocker

Block trackers and others element of the internet that vulnerate your privacy

What is Deep Tracking Blocker?

Deep Tracking Blocker is a Chrome extension that blocks trackers and other elements that compromise your privacy. It utilizes a Deep Neural Network trained with millions of URLs to identify tracking calls. With local browser operation and no personal data storage, DTB provides users with real-time blocked request updates and the ability to unblock for a personalized browsing experience.

Chrome extension to avoid being tracked online and protect your personal information while browsing the website.

The web tracking detection is performed by means of a Deep Neural Network trained with millions of URLs to distinguish between tracking and safe URL calls. It is the result of a research publication made by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya publicly available at "URL-based Web Tracking Detection Using Deep Learning" (https://dl.ifip.org/db/conf/cnsm/cnsm2020/1570659553.pdf).
Deep Tracking Blocker runs locally in your browser and doesn't store any of your personal data.
DTB shows the users in every moment which requests have been blocked and it allows to unblock them one by one if they want in order to facilitate a more personalized experience.

tested it with EFF (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/) and it provided no protection against tracking

Diese Browser Erweiterung ist eine Innovation! Sie verwendet DeeP Neural Networks, (also Künstliche Intelligenz) um Tracking zu blockieren! Und wenn man sich die, Browser Erweiterung anschaut, stimmt dies auch. Im verwendeten Programmiercode, befinden sich die „Model-Dateien“, so wie auch die „TensorFlow“ Library. Hier werden wirklich Neurale Netzwerke verwendet, um an das Ziel zu kommen. Das ist natürlich, viel besser, weil auch so unbekannte Tracker geblockt, werden können, statt einfach nur eine vorgefertigte Liste abzuarbeiten! Wäre nur schön, wäre diese Erweiterung besser aufgebaut! Am liebsten würde, mir eine Oberfläche, wie bei Pr1v4cy "B4dg3r" gefallen, wo die gefundenen Tracking URLS, aufgelistet werden. Aber auch ein Export und Import der Tracking-URLs wäre sinnvoll gewesen. Aber wie es leider so scheint, wird diese tolle Browser-Erweiterung nicht weiter entwickelt. Dies finde ich wirklich äußerst Schade! Denn dies war wirklich ein innovativer Gedanke, im Gegensatz du diesen ollen Listen, die einfach nur runter gerappelt werden! Na ja, vielleicht liegt dieser Umstand, auch daran, dass neuerdings, ganze private DNS-Server, in der Cloud erstellt werden können oder auf einem R4spb3rry"-"P1", um so natürlich ziemlich effektiv, Tracker und Werbung zu blocken! Mit Pr1v4cy B4dg3r arbeitet dieses toll, sehr gut zusammen! Dazu noch, ein kosmetischer Werbungsfilter und schon lässt sich sehr effektiv und Prozessor freundlich, auch unbekannte Tracking Domains bzw. URLs blockieren! Bitte entwickeln, sie diese Browser Erweiterung weiter! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Englisch Translation: This browser extension is an innovation! It uses DeeP Neural Networks (Artificial Intelligence) to block tracking! And if you look at the browser extension, this is true. In the programming code used, there are the "model files", as well as the "TensorFlow" library. Here really neural networks are used to get to the target. This is of course, much better, because even so unknown trackers can be blocked, instead of just working through a predefined list! Would only be nice, this extension would be better built! Best of all, I would like an interface, like Pr1v4cy "B4dg3r", where the found tracking URLS, are listed. But also an export and import of the tracking URLs would have been useful. But as it unfortunately seems, this great browser extension is not developed further. I find this really extremely unfortunate! Because this was really an innovative thought, in contrast to these old lists, which are simply rapped down! Well, maybe this circumstance, is also due to the fact that recently, entire private DNS servers, can be created in the cloud or on a R4spb3rry"-"P1", to block so of course quite effective, trackers and advertising! With Pr1v4cy B4dg3r this works great, very well together! In addition, a cosmetic advertising filter and already can be blocked very effectively and processor friendly, even unknown tracking domains or URLs! Please, they develop this browser extension further!
