Are there any conflicts with AOS and DoNotTrackMe if...

[rhyme-time]

Would there be any conflicts if I used Avast Online Security add-on and DoNotTrackMe at the same time?

Would I be able to use them both if AOS tracking protection was turned off so I could still use its other features?

Thank you very much

There are known conflicts between AOS and Do Not Track Me.
If you disable the AOS then DNTM will work.
You must decide on one or the other...sorry.

The AOS has very little to do with security, that is what the web shield does.

I'm not sure how you would tell if firefox 'Do Not Track Me' isn't working is you are also using AOS. I'm using both and I don't notice any conflict - conflict implies there is a noticeable affect, but how to tell is the thing.

When I first tried AOS Firefox wouldn't let me run both at the same time. Same thing in Chrome.
There have been others experiencing the same thing.

Issues with extensions like Disconnect arise when DoNotTrackMe redirects request, this is a known issue in Google Chrome.

Are there any potential risks of disabling Avast Online Security in Firefox? I have my Firefox set to delete everything on exit and I find the AOS page popping up everytime I start the browser annoying. I've also got Malwarebytes Premium and Avast Premier running so do I really need AOS?

[DavidR]

You still have the antivirus protection of the web shield.

SO if I turn of AOS Do Not Track I can still use DoNotTrackMe?

[Para-Noid]

Yes. That's the way I have my Firefox set-up.
