Internet regulators, the U.S. government, and the advertising industry have been working on the concept of ‘Do Not Track,’ but it's been unsuccessful so far since advertisers have no obligation to honor Do Not Track (DNT), and most don’t. Some even think that DNT should allow tracking. Hence, privacy is a big concern for almost every online user. Who doesn't want to protect his/her data from prying eyes. To ease the pain of online users a privacy company ABINE headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, released BLUR formerly known as DoNotTrackMe.
Blur/DoNotTrackMe is a browser plugin that automatically blocks tracking companies - ad networks, social networks, and sneaky data collection companies - from tracking your browsing behind the scenes. Blur is actively blocking over 600 of these ad/social networks to keep your data safe. It also protects your email address, phone, and credit card from being abused by companies on the web and on your mobile device. Once you install it on your device, it shows you how many trackers it has blocked on the particular website you're surfing and total number of trackers blocked since the installation. Blur also gives you the option to mask your email address, phone number and credit card information. Which means you don't have to enter your original email/phone/card details instead you can use one provided by the Blur and you've full control over them. Blur has both Free and Premium plans.
