Removes the part of the URLs that is used to track you on the web
Would you want someone following you around your home, grocery store, work, friend's house, local bar and anyhwere else you fancy going?
That's exactly what's happening right now on the web when you are casually sipping a cup of coffee or wine or just warm milk and surfing the web - someone is watching your steps - without your permission. We want to fix that.
UntrackMe is:
- simply removing tracking information from URLs
- For e.g. removing "?utm_campaign=socialflow_lifehacker_facebook&utm_source=lifehacker_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow" from "

UntrackMe is not:
- ad blocking tool
- tracking or storing your data
- a heavy appication that will slow down your browser
Try on this URL:

This is just the first step in helping free us from the unfettered access data brokers have to us and our data. We will come out with other ways of doing this.
