[QUOTE="Kubla, post: 811184, member: 58813"] Update: There is a new version out that now supports Brave browser [URL='https://www.xsossoftware.com/en/internet-privacy/']xSOS Firewall[/URL] I got the required database, now I can easily trace sites, research connections, and block organizations, and used this site as a starting point for testing. [URL='https://whotracks.me/']WhoTracksMe[/URL] So far I have been able to block 44 organizations, including all of Facebook, I never used it anyway, and some of Google. [ATTACH type="full"]212647[/ATTACH] This is really blanket blocking, the catch is blocking the big ones like Fastly, Coudfront, Akamai Technologies , Google, Microsoft etc... will break many if not most sites and no doubt have trackers and data lecher's along side the needed things for websites to run so a more granular approach would be needed for them. This is a sample of blocking after visiting five different sites: [ATTACH type="full"]212649[/ATTACH] I must admit it is nice to be in the drivers seat deciding who my browser connects to and who it doesn't instead of being at the mercy of websites.
