How safe is your browser? You are probably using chrome, right? Or maybe you have migrated into opera, firefox, age, brave, or some other browser, which you think is your back. This is probably not. At least not as much as you can think.
So EFF made cover your tracks,

This site tests your browser how trackers see your browser. It is a great device that gives you enough insight into the browser you can use that you want to think about switching or adding some plugins to strengthen default offerings.
How do your tracks work?
It is easy to use the site:
- Open your browser.
- Indicate your browser coveryourtracks.eff.org,
- Test your browser, click on.
- Wait for the results.
As soon as the site runs, it loads fake trackers. If your browser blocks a tracker, it passes the test and goes to the next. The tests are:
- A fake advertisement.
- A tracker.
- A domain that respects EFF does not track the policy.
This only collects anonymous data, so you do not have to worry, and the EFF can be fully trusted.
Too: I have tried almost every browser, and these are my top 6 (there are no chromes)
The results give you basic and detailed information, but the important thing is that it is going to say something: “Our tests indicate that you have some security against web tracking, but there are some gaps in it.” Or maybe: “Our tests indicate that you have strong security against web tracking.”
My results cover your track
I am not lying, the results inspire me to switch browsers.
Here is the deal: My default has been browser for some time. I love UI and really the ability to customize it. However, the Zen browser fell under the “Some security” category. On the other hand, the opera fell under the “strong security” category.
Needless to say, I went back to the opera.
Surprise, surprise
For me, the great surprise was Chrome. The longest, I have jailed to be one of the most unsafe browsers available on Chrome. Guess? Cover your track to the flagged chrome as “strong security” against trackers.

Certainly, this does not mean that it is 100% safe to use chrome, but if it is your primary need to block trackers, Chrome passed the test with flying colors.
How did other browsers work
Here is a list of browsers established by me:
- Tor – Strong Protection
- Firdragon – Some Security
- Firefox – Some Security
- Edge – No security
- Brave – Strong security
- Yandex browser – some security
- Safari – Strong Protection
- Arc browser – no security
- Florop – Some Security
- Librewolf – Strong Protection
The results are a mixed bag. You think all chrome-based browsers will have strong security, but not arch. You will also think that all firefox-based browsers will have some protection, but Librovolf proves it wrong.
Cover your track should make an important use
The important thing is that you must definitely cover your track to test your default browser. If that browser is not listed as strong security, either add ublock origin such as plugins or switch to a browser that completes a strong safety test.

This is a site that you should consider united. Do not allow yourself to be unsafe from trackers, as your data is more valuable for you when it is safe from those who will use it against you.
