Another piece of rentalware, this time something that certainly lives up to its "Basic" name and offered here as a 6-month trial before signing up to a recurring annual charge of $35 becomes necessary.

The developer's "Elite" version appears to offer more in the form of VPN browsing for $60 recurring but even then, a host of freeware tools -- everything from AdBlock to NoScript to Ghostery etc et al -- abound, as do free but limited data allowance protections from (for example) VPN providers like TunnelBear and sundry others.

Though the developer makes much of unwanted ads persistently dogging the tracks of a computer user, I've never suffered any such intrusion nor have any friends or family members, most likely because they're not asleep at the wheel and have instead made sure they've turned everything off in their account preferences (Google especially), don't allow DNS leakages when in VPN mode, either, and mop up cookies with a quick wipe after a browsing session.

Attempted tracking will always occur but as the ad industry itself is well aware, an Internet audience which allows itself to be tracked isn't the considerably higher-value audience it actually wants to track.

To give the impression then, as this developer does, that here's a problem of significant dimension is really too alarmist for comfort; to charge a rental fee for the 'Basic' version offered as a trial today, downright baffling. Thanks GOTD, but no thanks.

Requires to install the M$ SQL Server Compact. Not sure why, but since it's an heavy program, I don't want it. I'll pass on this one...

Be aware that websites are fighting back against this kind of software, by blocking access to their web pages. At the very least, they are creating popups whining and crying about their need for money, and that you are hurting them with your software. Oh, boo hoo.

Ghostery firefox and chrome addon can also stop trackers.
There're plenty of cleaning cache and cookies addons.
I just don't know what this one does what addons can't.
