Privacyfix (for Chrome) 2.2.7-Control who's tracking you on the web

*Privacyfix* is an add-on for Google's Chrome browser that lets you see and
control what information of yours is being tracked on the web. Advertisers
see a lot of information about your interests based on what's available
publicly in social spaces like Facebook. If you think your information is
secure, think again. Use Privacyfix to see just what's available for public
viewing by advertisers. Privacyfix is easy to install, and will immediately
show you what bits of your information are viewable by third party
advertisers, as well as let you tweak settings accordingly. It immediately
*checks accounts you're already logged into* on Chrome. For more options, it
will prompt you to log into your other various accounts. Privacyfix can check
Facebook (plus the various apps you have installed) and Google, as well as
websites you frequently visit. By using a convenient web-based interface, you
can toggle between options in the upper bar, then pick and choose what
settings to fix in a righthand column below. Generally, Privacyfix will send
you into a new tab to change Facebook settings, and some users might notice a
few bugs that need working out with the add-on. Most specifically, the add-on
seems to confuse the custom post option on Facebook with the public posting
option. *If you're concerned about your information's security online,
Privacyfix is a great way to monitor and tweak it.*Download *Privacyfix (for
