Microsoft pushes Edge into Anti-Tracking Bandwagon like its Rival Mozilla

Microsoft added an anti-tracking expertise to Edge. It followed the lead of Mozilla. And it calls the feature “Tracking prevention”. Much like its rival Mozilla and Apple, Microsoft introduced this feature which blocks being tracked.
Brandon Maslen, the senior software engineer, and Ryan Cropp, software engineer wrote in a company blog – “Tracking prevention is designed to protect you from being tracked by websites that you aren’t accessing directly.”
This feature is a new one that Microsoft added. But it is hidden. You can find this option by typing edge://flags in the address bar. To activate this option you need to select enabled as the setting for the Microsoft Edge tracking prevention. And relaunch the browser which begins stymying trackers. If you are unable to do so, you can take help of companies like Right Hand Technology Group, that provide managed IT services for all such issues.
You can also decide if you want the tracking prevention to be aggressive. You can dial it up a notch or dial it down. Now, Microsoft’s Canary build only has the tracking prevention. But soon its Window 10, macOS builds will have tracking prevention too.
It is not clear when the Tracking prevention becomes active. Maslen and Cropp made it sound like Microsoft was just starting to work on it. They said- “We’ll use your feedback on this experiment feature in the canary and Dev channels to understand potential impact to web compatibility and iterate on the experience to be helpful and easy to use.”
Mozilla worked years on its anti-tracking system. And after improving it, it felt free to turn the feature on by default. Working on this defensive technology takes time, and so Mozilla took some time to perfect it. Now, that Microsoft just started it, it has a long way to go.
The reason why Microsoft upped its game is because Washington Post deemed Mozilla to be the best browser able to tackle trackers. That is why as soon as Mozilla switched to Enhanced Tracking Protection, Chrome wanted to work on it.
The newspaper Columnist Geoffrey Fowler wrote- “Having the world’ biggest advertising company make the most popular web browser was about as smart as letting kids run a candy shop. It made me decide to ditch chrome for a new version of non-profit Mozilla Firefox, which has default privacy protections.”

The Importance of Cyber Hygiene: Tips from HelpRansomware Experts

Byline: Katreen David
In the digital age, the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” has never been more relevant.
For Juan Ricardo Palacio and Andrea Baggio of HelpRansomware, the battle against digital threats is a daily reality. Founded in response to the growing menace of ransomware, HelpRansomware has made it its mission to recover data while educating the public on the importance of cyber hygiene.
“Preventing a cyberattack before it happens is crucial. We can safeguard digital assets more effectively by nipping the threat in the bud through vigilant monitoring and proactive measures,” says Baggio.
The Growing Threat of Cybercrime
Cyber threats have become increasingly pervasive and sophisticated, impacting businesses and individuals alike. According to research, there are an estimated 2,000 cyberattacks per day globally. This equates to over 800,000 cyber crimes annually. In line with this, the worldwide cost of cybercrime is projected to reach the $23 trillion mark by 2027.
This alarming figure highlights the critical need for robust cybersecurity practices. HelpRansomware has responded to this challenge by accentuating the importance of preventive measures. “Our goal is to create a safer digital environment where cyber hygiene is as natural as brushing your teeth,” says Palacio.
Cyber Clean: Maintaining Digital Hygiene
HelpRansomware advocates for a proactive outlook on cybersecurity. It offers practical tips for maintaining good cyber hygiene, such as regularly updating software, using strong and unique passwords, developing risk management plans, and educating employees about phishing scams.
“Cyber hygiene is about taking small, consistent actions to protect your digital assets,” explains Palacio. “When we practice good cyber hygiene, the chances of cyber attacks occurring shrink significantly.”
Businesses can significantly reduce cyberattack vulnerability by integrating these practices into daily routines.
HelpRansomware’s Role in Promoting Cyber Hygiene
Beyond recovery services, HelpRansomware is dedicated to raising awareness and providing education on cybersecurity best practices. It conducts workshops and seminars to help organizations understand the importance of cyber hygiene. This unique initiative mirrors the company’s sincere efforts toward shielding the world from the dark side of the web.
“Education is the first line of defense against cyber threats,” emphasizes Baggio. “Francis Bacon’s famous quote will always ring true in every industry: ‘Knowledge is power’.”
HelpRansomware’s efforts are power moves across the board that help businesses recover from attacks. Its checkmate move, however, is its vision to build a culture of prevention that can safeguard against future threats.
In an era where cyber threats lurk around every unlikely corner of the internet, the importance of cyber hygiene cannot be overstated. Through its innovative solutions and educational initiatives, HelpRansomware is leading the pack in promoting better cybersecurity practices. “We believe that a well-informed and vigilant community can defeat cybercrime,” concludes Baggio.
HelpRansomware’s proactive stance on cyber hygiene is setting new standards in the industry. Through education and preventive practices, Andrea Baggio and Juan Ricardo Palacio are fortifying the digital community, making sure that future cyber threats are met with informed and resilient defenses. Cleanliness matters in both the tangible and digital world.
