How to Browse Safely Without Anti-Tracking Software
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
You don't need a paid privacy suite to cut down most everyday tracking. Much of it runs through the same ad networks and analytics services, which a free blocker can stop. Ultimate Adblocker blocks ad networks with EasyList and tracking scripts with EasyPrivacy, and warns before known phishing and malware sites. It doesn't hide your IP address, and it can't stop tracking by sites you're signed in to, so pair it with a few habits: keep Chrome updated, block third-party cookies in Chrome's privacy settings, and think about which accounts you sign in with.
