@Google

Recently, @Google announced a change to Chromiums’s extensions system that would disable the API which makes it possible to block ads. Here’s what we think.

@Google

@Google The phasing out of the webRequest API would break the technology many ad blocking apps such as @AdblockPlus, @uBlockOrigin, and @Ghostery run on.

An alternative API is being developed but for now, it won’t fully replace the webRequest API.

Surprise, surprise – the response was loud and clear! Many of you. Users and extension developers alike have criticized Google for limiting the users’ ability to browse the web ad-free.

Your browser is (probably) one of the apps you use most throughout the day. What can it do to protect your privacy online? Let's take a look.

#privacy #Security #YourBrowserMatters

Your browser:

1. Secures your connection to websites.

When you connect to a secure (https) website, your browser establishes a secure connection with that website. All data is encrypted so that only the browser and the website can see what is being sent over the connection. 🔒

2. It checks for certificates.

Your browser checks the certificates sent by the website to make sure you’re connecting to the real domain. That stops attackers from pretending to be that website. Simply put, an attacker will not have the website’s certificate.
