Disconnect Used by over a million people, Disconnect lets you visualize & block the invisible websites that track you

We think your personal info should be treated with respect, that you should be the steward of your digital self, that you should own your own data. But today, you're getting a bum deal. Thousands of companies and organizations are taking, analyzing, and auctioning off things like the history of the webpages you go to and searches you do, without even telling you. So we're building a platform to put you back in charge and let you decide who does what with your online data. Advertisers and other third parties track, clutter, and slow down your web browsing. Disconnect makes the web your business not theirs.

Disconnect stops third parties and search engines from tracking the webpages you go to and searches you do.
