TrackMeNot is a lightweight browser extension that helps protect web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. It does so not by means of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one's tracks), but instead, paradoxically, by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation. With TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are essentially hidden in plain view. User-installed TrackMeNot works with the Firefox Browser and popular search engines (AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and MSN) and requires no 3rd-party servers or services.

It's to "confuse" exclusively search engines. If it works on those you're protected. :biggrin:

Check Aurion's "how to register on private trackers without an invite" tutorial, but that's unlikely to work.


@ seven

I think he means "3rd parties".
