What is TrackMeNot?
TrackMeNot is a browser extension designed to safeguard web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. Rather than relying on concealment or encryption techniques, it employs a unique strategy of noise and obfuscation. This approach aims to mask actual web searches by blending them with a cloud of false leads, effectively hiding them in plain sight. The extension is compatible with the Firefox Browser and integrates seamlessly with popular search engines, including AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and Bing, without requiring any third-party servers or services
