Both sites did not find anything on me. Is this suppose to be like that? Wondering what information would the sites gather?

The first one didn't get anything because Malwarebytes blocked it :p. And the second didn't find anything from me either.

Neither succeeded in finding anything on me.

Thank you CCleaner, Ghostery, Beef TACO, Adblock Plus and Request Policy.

Yeah neither worked. Probably because of adblock plus. Or because I have all 3rd party cookies removed.

If you're using ABP, you can use the EasyPrivacy filter subscription and you won't need Ghostery. (unless you use it to delete LSO's)

I ran tests a year or so ago, and with ABP + EasyPrivacy, in over two weeks I never encountered a single site that Ghostery listed as having any trackers. And I was really trying hard to encounter some! Basically following any and every link I came across. With ABP disabled, some of these sites listed a half-dozen or more trackers. :)

Nothing succeeded because I have configured Firefox not to remember history at all and I have ABP installed too.

I do have Easy Privacy on IE9 and FF but for some odd reason I am unable to add it to ABP for Chrome. Any work arounds?

Edit: managed to manually add the URL link of Easy Privacy on ABP in Chrome.

Same, the results were ok. So the configuration is tighten to avoid the privacy issue.

Congratulations, we did not find anything in this category in your browser history.
Feel free to try our other browser history tests.
So who's to 'blame' for this ? ABP?
