Your browser also sends information about itself to every website you visit, allowing them to create a fingerprint representing your system. AntiBrowserSpy additionally includes tools to block Google Analytics (sends information on your system to Google), social network plugins (these may allow Facebook to track your surfing behaviour), and disable both Flash and Silverlight cookies (which can be used for all kinds of data storage). The built-in browser settings are just the start, of course. And when you're happy, the program can optimize the settings for all the main browsers - Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Opera, even Netscape Navigator - with a click. Launch the program, click AntiSpy > Security Status and it will tell you exactly which security features aren't set correctly. Get a little help from AntiBrowserSpy, though, and it's a very different story.
All the major browsers have a host of privacy settings, many of them very well hidden, and getting all of them set correctly can be a real challenge. If you'd like to maintain your online privacy then checking your browser settings is the obvious place to start.
