LESSON 2 · Who's Watching You? Digital Privacy
Reducing Your Tracking Footprint
Minimize tracking with these layered defenses:
- Block third-party cookies — every major browser offers this setting
- Use Firefox or Brave — both can block or randomize fingerprinting scripts
- Install uBlock Origin — it stops tracking scripts before they run, blocking both cookies and fingerprinting
Clear cookies regularly, or use containers to keep sites separate. For sensitive searches, open a private window to start with a fresh session. The arms race between trackers and privacy tools keeps escalating.
