DuckDuckGo has released a list of thousands of websites and their Trackers. And he called him DuckDuckGo Trackers Radar. The data was collected thanks to They Browsers. They are very interesting as they demonstrate what we have already suspected for some time: Google and Facebook have literally filled the web with their tracking. And it is also the fault of the owners of the sites who use them more or less unconsciously.
An example above all: we happened to report to INPS (here on Twitter) that their Android application contained for no reason the tracking codes of Google Ads and of Google Tags Manager. INPS was very courteous in their responses and a few weeks after their application it no longer contained the two traces we reported. This is also what we mean by 'unconscious'. You may have developers and webmasters by now insert some by default Trackers and some parts of Google or Facebook code because "it is customary to do so" without evaluating the real impact. Or that they use the cumbersome Google Analytics regardless of when they are there many alternatives ethical and respectful of users.
DuckDuckGo Trackers Radar and the origin of Trackers
It is in fact now incredibly difficult find a site that does not contain Google banners (and consequently his Trackers) or the statistics of Google Analytics. Just as it is very difficult to find a site that does not contain Facebook tracking (as we have seen recently).
We are therefore not surprised to see this graph! The origin of Trackers most common on websites is Google and in second place we find Facebook. Not even Adobe, Amazon and Oracle They joke too much with the use of tracking, unfortunately. We say it often, but we will repeat it forever. We are not against advertising tout court, nor to multinationals regardless. We are against this idea of the internet where tracking, whether advertising or not, is seen as an obligation or as something indispensable. It is not.
The importance of a Browsers Safe
You can advertise very well even without tracking anyone, as for example the Browsers Brave. Or how it does exactly the same DuckDuckGo. In fact, the most famous duck on the web earns money from advertising within searches but, unlike Google, It doesn't track anyone. Another world is therefore possible and desirable.
For this reason we give you advice on how to protect yourself from wild tracking. Despite being truly anonymous is complicated, sometimes the only thing we want is to be left alone by the advertisements that harass us and follow us everywhere. we suggest Indeed to use gods Browsers with the blocking of inter-site cookies already activated by default as they do for example both Firefox That Brave.
