What is AntiBrowserSpy - Social Network Block?
AntiBrowserSpy - Social Network Block is a Chrome extension designed to enhance user privacy by blocking Facebook's pervasive social plugins across the web. These plugins often contribute to tracking and profiling user activity without their clear consent. This extension offers a unique solution by replacing these plugins with an 'Unblock'-button, thus preventing Facebook from automatically tracking your browsing activity. Users can choose to load these elements selectively with a simple click, maintaining control over their data and who gets to access it. It's an effective tool for those conscious of privacy and looking to reduce the digital footprint that social networks typically harvest.
