Privacy Fix – An Awesome Tool to Prevent Online Tracking

One of the biggest problems on the web nowadays is that of privacy. As we all know many such companies are present out there that steal a person’s personal information and sell them to make money. This problem has somewhat been taken care of by the modern browsers which try their best to protect a user from any such thing; but still the threat is always there. Sometimes people don’t enable or adjust the setting in the right way, other times they are just too careless.

One of the most common ways of getting the most personal information of a person is through his account on a social networking website. A huge number of internet users are on one or more of the famous social networking websites, such as Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus etc. So these are the best places for hackers to attack and extract all the information they want from the account.

It is always wise to adjust the privacy settings on your browser and these websites before you start posting some personal stuff on them. But the main problem is that most of the people have no idea how to do it. This is where an extension named “Privacy Fix” can come to help. It is a really nice extension for Firefox and chrome which has the ability of automatically checking your privacy settings on the browser and your online accounts such as Facebook, Google plus and the websites you visit.

After you are done with the installation, simply login in to your social networking website’s account and let this extension do its work. It will display all the information about the settings you have enabled/disabled. In this way you would be able to better understand your privacy settings for these websites.

It does the same thing on your browser – it tells you which settings you need to change for better protection.  It also prompts you when you are about to open a malicious link on the web. It boasts one more awesome feature known as the Health Bar that helps you keep tabs on your security on the web. The health bar has two colors: orange shows a security violation and green shows safe. It also stops you from visiting the websites which tracks user data and stores flash cookies in your system to steal your data. Everyone should install this extension to stay protected and safe.
