Add-on summary

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.

    I got duped for the 3rd time. I purchased it in February, July and today being November. Yet, I run a scan and I still get the same recommendation page and nothing has been upgraded. We are being taken.

    This is the most confusing mess I have seen. I was on-line with McAfee HELP and she could answer nothing for over an hour. This feels like a scam just to get more payment.
