TrackMeNot

TrackMeNot

TrackMeNot 0.6.723 is another extension that is not very helpful. Developers seem to be overly concerned with creating a personal profile on search engines (the process of website search tracking users' queries and building their own personal profile according to the corresponding query). This conclusion was made after three months of searching queries of 657 000 AOL members on the web.

The concern at TrackMeNot is not privacy, but the technology used. This extension runs in the background when you surf the Web and send random search queries to the search engines of AOL, Yahoo, Google, and MSN. How much system resources will be wasted on both you and the search engine you are using?
