There’s now a multitude of extensions you can install on your web browser to protect yourself from ad trackers. Google, Facebook and the majority of online sites and services put small scripts online that “track” Internet users. Here’s a selection of some small programs – to install on Chrome, Firefox and other browsers – that can help prevent disclosing too much personal information.
