[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 807557, member: 50782"] Hi, was asked to give trace a spin. So installed it in Chromium-Edge to have a look at it. After having looked at the options I decided to create two profiles, a browsing profile and a booking profile. Booking profile: installed Blank New Tab Page, Avast Online Security and Auto History Wipe. Avast set to block all by default except Analytics (because when you want to use a coupon which was send by email, you might need analytics and/or tag to get the discount). Browsing profile: installed extensions Blank New Tab Page, Trace and Auto History Wipe and tightened the site permission by blocking: Camera, Microphone, Notifications, Flash, Unsandboxed Plugin Access, Handlers, MIDI Divices, USB Devices, Clipboard and Payment Handlers. Remained Javascript on Default, but added two block rules manually for Javascript (HTTP://* and FILE:///*). Next had a look at Trace settings and decided to play with the settings (remember I have created "booking" compatibility oriented profile for online banking, shopping, skype and egovernment stuff etcetera so I don't risk messing up with webbased transactions). [B]Settings[/B] [LIST=1] [*]When Protection Runs All enabled on all pages [*]Trace Settings Enabled everything but kept on default: everything except - Screen resolution protection (added 'Common Resolutions' which are rotated - Network information Spoof (websites sometimes use this for videos) [*]Advanced Features Enabled everything but kept them on default, except - Cookie eater: Set Cookie Header (second option): randomise values of only cookies in list - JS Plugin Hide: kept on default = DISABLE - Proxy IP Spoofer [*]Browser Settings Enabled all on default [/LIST] [B]Requests[/B] [LIST=1] [*]WebRequest Controller Only enabled the Default Trace Blocklist [*]Local Blocklist (enabled = default) [*]Bad TLD Protection (enabled = default) [*]URL tracking Cleaner Enabled set to 'Randomize Selected Parameters', choose the 'Regular' parametes [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
