| I've been following the conversation for the last couple days and I think I may have a solution. I have been working on a program to block telemetry tracking at the OS level. It's called PrivacyWall, and it was originally meant to stop unwanted data collection by Windows 10. I built this to be a solution to block unwanted data collection by companies that sellout their customers to advertisers instead of putting their users first. It is more powerful than an Adblocker because it operates at the OS system and is able to block tracking by Windows programs and the Windows 10 operating system. I just added support to block Firefox tracking with the telemetry urls that Looking Glass is sending data to. I haven't been able to work on it for the last 3 months because I was trapped by the hurricane in Puerto Rico without power, internet, water. It's not ready for prime time, so this is a beta. You can try it here: https://www.privacywall.org I'm making it available for free for non-commercial use. PrivacyWall blocks a list of known Firefox, Chrome, and Edge telemetry urls and Windows 10 telemetry urls when you turn it on. You can also turn it off easily through the task tray. After you install PrivacyWall, no program on your computer will be able to send data to those urls anymore behind your back. If you try it out and like it or hate it, please send me your feedback. Let me know if there are more urls I should add to the block list. I have limited time to continue supporting this project. If anyone is interested in helping out, let me know. |
