A few years ago the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) created a mechanism for browsers to inform web servers that they would not like to be tracked. - This is accomplished by including a DNT (Do Not Track) header with web requests. - This header is enabled by default in Privacy Browser, although if desired it can be disabled in the settings.
- -The DNT header doesn't really provide much privacy because most web servers ignore it. For example, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook - all ignore at least some DNT headers.
- + + -Privacy Browser Free includes a banner advertisement across the bottom of the screen that is populated by Google's - AdMob network. By default, Google provides the advertising ID - of the device to the ads displayed through this network. This allows advertising companies to build a profile of - the device that show which apps are installed (that display ads), how often they are used, and which ads the user is interested in.
+ + + -Users can choose to disable the advertising ID in Settings, Google, Ads.

+ Hace algunos años la W3C (Consorcio Mundial de la Red) creó un mecanismo para que los navegadores informaran a los servidores web que no les gustarÃa ser rastreados. + Esto se logra incluyendo un encabezado DNT (Do Not Track o No Rastrear) con las solicitudes web.
-The purpose of the free version of Privacy Browser is to allow people to test the features of the app. The standard version can be purchased - on the major app stores or downloaded for free from - F-Droid.
+El encabezado DNT no provee realmente de mucha privacidad porque la mayorÃa de servidores web lo ignoran. Por ejemplo, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft y Facebook, + todos ellos ignoran al menos algunos encabezados DNT.
-Verizon, one of the major mobile carriers in the United States, adds a unique tracking header to all HTTP traffic on their network. The Electronic Frontier - Foundation has written about the privacy implications of this practice. Due to public pressure - Verizon has created a way to opt out of this tracking.
- +Navegador Privado elimina las secciones de ID de seguimiento de las URL, como ?utm_ de Google Analytics y
+ ?fbclick= de Facebook. La modificación de URL puede desactivarse en la configuración si está causando problemas.
