[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1710447, member: 204485"] Here is an interesting exercise. On the bottom right corner of the Epic Browser window is a "See whos tracking you in other browsers" button. I clicked that and I'm given the oppertunity to choose Chrome, Firefox or Safari. I Safari. This is the result; We found 48 companies storing data in Safari and tracking at least part of your browsing. We found 9 data collectors in Safari tracking, saving and often selling your browsing. Here is a list of the trackers we found (data collectors, ad networks, widgets & others): I also tried the same check with Safari and got a total of 144 companies storing data in Chrome and tracking at least part of my browsing. So I went to Chrome Preferences > History and cleared everything from the beginning of time and performed the test again. This time I got this result; We found 10 companies storing data in Chrome and tracking at least part of your browsing. We found 8 data collectors in Chrome tracking, saving and often selling your browsing. Here is a list of the trackers we found (data collectors, ad networks, widgets & others): AppNexus DoubleClick DataPoint Media Eloqua Google LinkedIn Datalogix RapLeaf Now the really interesting part of this is after clearing all of my browser data I changed my Ghostery settings to block everything (Select All) and initially there was only one Tracker (Google) but as you can see now there are Ten. Ghostery is telling me that all trackers are blocked? So what can I conclude from that? [/QUOTE]
