Total Surveillance Remedy

Hello everyone!

It has long been no secret that the electronic devices that surround us in everyday life are increasingly following us, trying to collect as much information as possible. And often they do this without informing us about it. This is not a good situation, so we are trying to find ways to protect our users from snooping as much as possible.

As you know, we have already added a blocker for tracking and unwanted advertising in test assemblies. But in fact, not only web pages, but also the computer itself can monitor users. Laptops can seamlessly monitor using the built-in webcams, as well as eavesdrop on user conversations through the built-in microphone. Well, users often close the camera with a plastic shutter - it costs a penny, but you can’t do this with a microphone - it will hear sounds even through the curtain.

Of course, video surveillance is very unpleasant, but eavesdropping also does not bring joy. Therefore, we decided to experiment with our built-in blocking system and add protection from wiretapping to the list:

We hope that in the next version of the test build you can try this new locking tool and help us make it more productive.
