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.
+Há alguns anos, o W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) criou um mecanismo para os navegadores informarem aos servidores web que eles não gostariam de ser rastreados. + Isso é feito incluindo um cabeçalho DNT (Do Not Track) com solicitações da web.
-The DNT header doesn't really provide any privacy because most web servers ignore it. For example, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook all ignore at least some DNT headers.
+O cabeçalho DNT realmente não fornece nenhuma privacidade porque a maioria dos servidores da web o ignora. + Por exemplo, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft e Facebook ignoram pelo menos alguns cabeçalhos DNT. + A partir da versão 3.8, o Privacy Browser não tem mais a opção de enviar um cabeçalho DNT.
-Privacy Browser removes tracking ID sections of URLs, like ?utm_ from Google Analytics and
- ?fbclick= from Facebook. URL modification can be turned off in the settings if it is causing issues.
Privacy Browser removes tracking IDs and AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) redirects from URL queries. + There is a blog post that is updated with the current list of modifications. + URL modification can be turned off in the settings if it is causing issues.
+ + +Google programmed Androidâs WebView to send an X-Requested-With header with every request.
+ The value of the X-Requested-With header is set to the application ID, which in the case of Privacy Browser is com.stoutner.privacybrowser.standard.
+ This can be disabled by using WebView's DevTools.
