How to activate and use Anti-Fingerprinting
« on: April 18, 2020, 09:49:41 PM »
Hi, I'm using Avast secure browser since months but i don't know how to enable anti-fingerprinting utility as it mentioned in this image below? (https://filesmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/avast-secure-browser-screenshot.png). I need it because mostly I'm using this browser to make payments through online bank account.

Thanks

Can you attach screeshot directly to your post. Some people avoid clicking links to external sources.
See underneath the text box "Attachments and other options". Click on that.

Hi. There are two ways of activating Anti Fingerprining. The first one is in the menu you have shown. By clicking on the slider, it should change to green and activate the feature. But, if that is not working, you can also try the following steps.
1) Go to secure://extensions/
2) In upper left corner click on Developer mode slider
3) Activate Anti-fingerprinting in this menu.

I hope this  guide helps.

Hi,
AFAIK Anti-Track is an independent product that works in all web browsers. In Secure Browser, you have several layers of security and privacy that are built-in already.
