Download

Install Compare

PrivatizeMe is a Chrome extension designed to protect your online privacy effortlessly. It blocks cookies and trackers from untrusted sites and their third-party partners, ensuring your browsing data remains private without collecting or storing any personal information. Unlike traditional ad blockers, PrivatizeMe allows ads to display while preventing trackers from profiling you, offering an ethical and non-intrusive browsing experience.

Users can customize their privacy by adding trusted sites where cookies won't be blocked, enabling "Keep me logged in" for services like Gmail or Amazon without compromising privacy on other sites. Additionally, pairing it with the complementary PrivatizeMeSearch extension boosts privacy on search activities by eliminating trackers and history recording. PrivatizeMe empowers users to browse safely, free from corporate tracking and cyber stalking risks, without the hassle of complex settings or proxy usage.

This is really a good extension. Really Love it. However, it would be much better if we can manually edit the Trusted site list in a setting page. Sometimes, it will auto log you out or doesn't login successfully if the login page redirect you to different domain multiple time. Just like https://www.hotmail.com/ It also doesn't delete the "Channel ID" cookies, service workers or system files when you left the Youtube or cloud drive websites something. Hope it can be improved then it will be perfect @__@!

this is nice extension, keeping me private, but i want to ask the developer, will this extension no longer being updated, because i see on your site and you develop app for windows instead of update this extension, so i'm afraid that is the case, but i hope that's not...

Downloaded this extension and the PrivatizeMe private search extension. The cookie zapper is keeping me private. It also made me aware how many cookies are being put on my computer, 100s!!!!!! Why do these companies need to know who I am?

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PrivatizeMe requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
