How to block trackers in Chrome

PrivacyGuard is a free Chrome extension that blocks advertising pixels, fingerprinting scripts, and data broker trackers with a minimal-permissions model. Install in 30 seconds from the Chrome Web Store and tracker blocking is active immediately on all sites.

What trackers follow you on Chrome?

The average web page loads 20–30 third-party scripts from ad networks, data brokers, analytics providers, and social media platforms. These scripts build profiles of your browsing behaviour across thousands of sites, often without your awareness. In Europe, many of these tracking practices require explicit consent under GDPR — but consent is often buried in cookie banners designed to confuse.

Types of trackers PrivacyGuard blocks

  • Advertising pixels: Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and similar scripts that track your web activity to serve targeted ads.
  • Cross-site analytics: Scripts that send your behaviour data to third parties regardless of which site you are on.
  • Browser fingerprinting: Scripts that collect device characteristics to identify you without cookies.
  • Data broker scripts: Collection scripts from companies that aggregate and sell user data profiles.
