These internet browsers will alert you if your data gets stolen
The internet can be a very unsafe place for your personal data to exist on as there is no saying when it would fall prey to the eye of some hacker. From big corporate organisations to an individual, data is a commodity that can be put by hackers to their own malicious uses like extortions. In light of data breaches like Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal and attacks by WannaCry and Petya ransomware that targeted the devices used by employees of big organisations, major search engines in the world seem to be battening their hatches to deal with these threats. Case in point: Mozilla and Google.
Mozilla’s Firefox 70, the latest browser version by the American firm, has been updated with new features like social tracking protection, a Privacy Protections report and a password management tool that alerts you in case of data leak.
Mozilla’s has added social media trackers to its Enhanced Tracking Protection feature which means that all the tracking requests from major platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn, will be rejected and blocked.
