Has anyone used AVG AntiTrack? Is it any good?

Yes, AVG AntiTrack is quite effective. It helps protect your online privacy by alerting you when tracking attempts are made, and it also disguises your digital fingerprint. However, the effectiveness may vary depending on individual browsing habits and needs.

I don't know what it can do different than what uBlock can already accomplish with a good set of rules.

So is it useless?

I just used AVG Anti Tracker's online tool to scan my pc for privacy issues. This is the tool they use to scare you and sell you their product. It scanned my browser and straight up LIED, saying they could detect I had logged a session in Blogger, which is literally untrue.

I wouldn't say useless, I would say it duplicative and an unnecessary exposure to threat/exploit space via allowing yet another "security program" to run in the background.

If you have AdGuard or uBlock and are using a more robust block list then it is my belief that you have all the tracking avenues covered (as much as you can without going VPN).

Thanks for your review.

I already use uBlock Origin on my browsers.

That is what I want to hear, I liked those three products, but AntiTrack was not as much as them.

I've tried AVG AntiTrack for a bit. It does a decent job of blocking trackers and keeping your online activity private. It's user friendly and doesn't slow down my system. If you're looking for an extra layer of privacy, it might be worth trying!

Tried it, use it when you want your pc slow as hell.
