Tracer elements
I observe a profound resignation in the lack of awareness regarding the management and control of trackers that haunt us, from cell phone operating systems to computer operating systems, to simple web browsing.
I invite you to read the topics of Digital Rebirth in particular:
PC Operating System, no commercial operating system is immune to this, with some slip-ups even in the field of Open source, in particular it is best to abandon Windows, macOS, Linux Ubuntu in favor of 100% free Linux distributions such as Mint or Debian.
The site distrowatch shows the popularity ranking of the main Linux distros, you can check the most popular one.
Mobile Operating System watchword Degoogling the ideal is the elimination of the android operating system in favor of installing alternative operating systems or degoogled mobile phone hardware: GrapheneOS , LineageOS , CalyxOS , iodé , Plasma Mobile , pine64 , fairphone , Purism Librem5 .
The danger of tracers
Trackers are simply software on web pages or mobile apps that are designed to collect and record a wide range of personal data about users. These tracking tools can collect information about browsing habits, such as browsing history and time spent on a page, as well as purchasing preferences, such as products viewed and purchases made.
Trackers collect demographic information, such as age, gender and geographic location, as well as device data, such as device type, operating system and screen resolution, and generally interact with the sensors of digital devices.
Tracking tools can also be implemented without the explicit consent of the user, raising concerns about privacy and security of personal data.
Trackers can be classified into different categories, including cookies, which are small text files saved on the user’s device to record their online activities, as well as pixel trackers1, always with the aim of in-depth profiling of the user.
In general, trackers can be used for legitimate purposes, such as personalising user experience or measuring advertising effectiveness, but they can also be used for less legitimate purposes, such as collecting personal data without consent or creating user profiles for targeted advertising.
In practice:
- Content you search for and sites you visit.
- Duration of stay and navigation scheme.
- The purchases you make the path you took to decide the purchase.
- What social networks do you use and what comments do you make?
- Emails you send and receive.
- Use of internet connections: home, telephone operator, access to public wifi.
- Operating system information screen size and other recoverable details.
- Geographic information from IP addresses and positioning devices.
- Browser type, and data collection with respect to other pages you visit at the same time at the tracking session.
- There are certainly other information that I am missing.
Observations
Obstacles to ad blocking
Probably an action that is carried out by a vast majority of users is to install extensions in their browsers to block ads, very effective but Google got so pissed off that it activated countermeasures. It all starts with the change in the rules for extensions, we moved from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3 . The uBlock Origin component will no longer be able to work with the rules provided by Manifest V3. To address these limitations, a simplified version has been developed, called uBlock Origin Lite, which, while guaranteeing a certain protection, has significantly reduced functionality compared to the original version. A browser like Firefox, properly configured, guarantees you superior protection even on mobile devices you can install extensions.
You should know that the main financier of Firefox is Google precisely because it needs to limit the monopoly of its browser and since there are no alternatives.
Mouse movements and clicks
The new infamous advanced takers can even record users’ mouse movements and clicks on a web page to understand their engagement and user experience.
A tool declared free forever is Microsoft Clarity Analytics, by registering you will give your site data to Microsoft to feed its AI Copilot. If you want to be amazed it is so sophisticated that it tracks and records the movements made with the mouse. Don’t believe it? Watch the same demo that Microsoft makes available live demo click on recordings.
Free information
If the internet is completely tracked and content creators use content analysis and consensus tools, how can information be truly free and uncensored? The indexing activity itself, intended as a fundamental element for data research, is manipulated with respect to the expected results.
Freedom of information must be completely stealth (hidden) from external influences on free and uncensored platforms.
Escape from Windows
Windows Recall is a system that continuously captures snapshots of your Windows screen, come on, run and activate it, what are you waiting for click here clearly your maximum privacy is guaranteed 😜!
You can use a browsable timeline to find content you remember to have seen before. You can also use semantic search to describe how you remember something, and Recall will bring you back to the moment you saw it. Any photo, link, or message can be a new point to continue from.
Pixel Tracking also known as a pixel tag, web beacon or clear GIF, is a fundamental element of digital marketing and data analysis. This technique allows you to collect information about user behavior and interactions on websites, emails and advertisements. Pixel tracking consists of a very small image, composed of a single pixel, that is embedded in a web page, email or advertisement. This pixel is usually transparent or the same color as the background, making it invisible to the human eye. When a user interacts with the content containing the pixel, information is sent to the server, recording the action performed. This data is then used to analyze user behavior, track conversions and optimize marketing strategies. ↩︎
