Do not track plugin
« on: May 18, 2018, 02:12:41 PM »
Hi, this is my first post  :)
So, I have been using the free 'avast online security' on my pc for years and have generally been very satisfied with it - including the 'Do not track' chrome browser plugin.

I have installed 'avast mobile security' on my Android phone where I also use chrome. I have been working my way through the settings, but I haven't come across an equivalent for the 'Do not track' plugin which I have on my pc.

Can someone please enlighten me?  :D

No replies yet, hmm.

Is it because I haven't properly explained what the issue is, or is it because no one knows the answer?  ;D

Oh I see, thank you. And there is no setting in the mobile version that can prevent tracking then, I gather.

Is there another app that I can use to get the same 'no-tracking' effect in chrome? Do you have any recommendations maybe?

Hi, indeed, there is no "Antitrack" like on your PC.

You could reach certain extent of anonymity combining the VPN app and some "privacy browser", but it will never do the same job as the antitrack.

Thanks for the suggestion  :)

How odd that this is not incorporated into the mobile version, though. I find it an excellent feature and no less relevant on an android browser.

Hi, the ASB devs are working on a version for Android but this can take a while.
