Tracker Protection by Disconnect prevents trackers from surreptitiously collecting your data within your apps, browsers, and email. Trackers are present in 90% of websites and apps, and up to 70% of emails, gathering information about your location, identity, and sensitive online activities. This poses a risk of targeted advertising and potential security breaches. Disconnect's AI-powered protection safeguards against privacy threats and encrypts your device's DNS lookups to deter unauthorized surveillance.

Disconnect's approach to data handling is transparent and respectful of user privacy. The company adheres to a strict no data collection, logging, or sharing policy as stated in their privacy policy.

Employ this application to block harmful advertisements and content that jeopardize your security and impede your browsing experience. The protection provided can significantly enhance the speed of page and app loading times. By encrypting and filtering DNS connections in the background, Tracker Protection offers continuous safeguarding even when the app is closed, allowing you to use your device securely.

Disconnect is committed to offering efficient privacy solutions without imposing burdensome experiences on users. Their privacy products prioritize robust protection without compromising user convenience or system performance, providing individuals with control over their personal data and the freedom to navigate the internet and their daily lives without unwelcome surveillance.

Disconnect's privacy technology is utilized in various popular browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge, with their apps being featured by renowned media outlets such as The New York Times, Washington Post, 60 Minutes, Today Show, Wired, among others. These endorsements underscore the company's dedication to user privacy.

The core features of Disconnect's Tracker Protection include free tracker protection for all applications, browsers, and email services resulting in faster loading times, reduced bandwidth usage, and improved battery life. Additional features include encrypted DNS lookups to prevent browsing and app usage surveillance. Users have the option to upgrade for customized protection settings, view blocking activities, and enhance tracker blocking.

  • Blocks invisible tracking elements that compromise identity and location privacy
  • Works seamlessly on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks (2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, etc)
  • Compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit devices

Disconnect's Tracker Protection technology now extends its coverage to block trackers within all apps by configuring DNS settings to prevent connections to known tracking domains. The focus solely remains on consumer privacy protection with a clearly defined policy available at disconnect.me. The company does not engage in whitelisting for monetary gain and assures that no traffic logging or IP tracking occurs unless explicitly provided by the user.

Disconnected prioritizes user empowerment through privacy-centric solutions aiming for a more secure online environment for millions of users worldwide. Recognitions include prestigious awards such as the Innovation Award for Privacy and Security at the South by Southwest Interactive festival along with acknowledgments from Popular Science's 100 Best of What's New list and endorsement as a favorite privacy app by The New York Times. The company collaborates with major privacy and security organizations like Consumer Reports, Mozilla, EFF to champion user rights to online privacy.
