Do Not Track Plus for Chrome 2.0.5-Block sites from tracking you

*Do Not Track Plus* is a cross-browser extension that stops sites from
tracking you. If you're concerned about targeted advertising or the amount of
data sites gather about you, it's a very effective add-on. Once installed,
you'll be surprised at how much tracking you're subjected to and how much Do
Not Track Plus blocks as illustrated in this video: Do Not Track Plus claims
it can stop more than 600 trackers and it is compatible with Mac or PC for
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. It's constantly updated to
keep ahead of the latest trackers. Benefits of Do Not Track Plus include more
privacy, vastly increased control over what can track your activity and
faster browsing speeds. It's also very discreet. A small green icon appears
in your browser toolbar with a number in it indicating the number of tracking
cookies that the site you are currently browsing is trying to leave on your
computer. If you click on the number, a drop down menu displays information
about the tracking cookies which usually consist of anything from social
media trackers to advertising trackers. If there's something in there that
you don't want blocked, just click on it and Do Not Track Plus will
immediately allow it to track you. If you want more information on exactly
what is tracking you, just click on the block counts and a drop down menu
shows you the names of the companies (usually big ad networks such as
Doubleclick, Omniture and Comscore). There is an additional information link
"Who are these companies?" although it doesn't give any specific information
- just a useful general description of why these companies are tracking you.
Finally, there's an "All Time Block Counter" which keeps track of the total
number of trackers that are blocked which can easily run into the thousands
in just one day. *If you're concerned about targeted advertising or how much
websites seem to know about you, Do Not Track Plus is a powerful yet simple
solution.*Download *Do Not Track Plus for Chrome 2.0.5* in Softonic
