Do Not Track Me (Blog#11)

After talking about safety online in class, I really expected more companies to be "tracking" me.  I went on few different websites to compare the results.  On Yahoo I blocked two trackers, on Fox News I blocked nine trackers, On ABC.com I blocked ten trackers, on BrainyQuote I blocked six trackers, and surprisingly on Facebook I blocked five trackers.  I was most surprised about Facebook because of all of the hacking and advertisement that they have all of the time.  I will definitely keep this on my computer.  I like knowing that I can block companies from knowing what I am doing on their websites.  I hope that this protects my identity such as credit card information as well!
