You scroll to an article in the news, read it - and bam, you get contextual ads.\u003cbr\u003e\nThey can't read your mind, if you're worried about that. All they do is to monitor your scrolling- and mouse movement behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is where Secuvox comes into play. It keeps ad networks from being able to programatically track your surfing behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e\nYou can select what kind of information to block per page: Mouse movement, scrolling, or generic events.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn adition, Secuvox pretends to be the Google bot. Thus, many cookie banners and tracking function will vanish.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt does also send \"Do not track\" headers and blocks ads as well as most cookie banners.\u003cbr\u003e\nReferer data (that's information about what webpage has led you to another webpage) is also being blocked.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSevuvox does have two adblockers implemented: UblockOrigin as well as a host based filter list to provide even more privacy!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAll this comes with a small cost, as allways in life:\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst of all, some webpages may display badly. That's due to the nature of webdesign, and which techniques ad companies do use.\u003cbr\u003e\nTo solve this, you can select specifically which profiling features you want to block per webpage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSecond of all, social media can't be blocked. That's due to the nature of it being relying on endless scrolling. As soon as a page relies on endless scrolling, it is dependant of monitoring scroll behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e\nThus, the blocking features are disabled for most social media pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd finally, it is not possible to log in to webpages.
