It gives users the<strong> ability to make all of their information anonymous<\/strong> from advertisers and completely <strong>block out any form of tracking <\/strong>at all. With Crumbs users can customize which of their interests they want to keep private and which they want to share with advertisers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you want to block out advertisement tracking completely or just hide some personal information that you\u2019d rather not share, Crumbs is here to shield exactly what you want it to and nothing that you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-2.jpg\" alt=\"Crumbs\" class=\"wp-image-182112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-2-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-2-150x96.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Crumbs protect your privacy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Crumbs <strong>extension <\/strong>actually has a variety of uses and a number of different methods it uses to protect your identity online. Here are three ways you can expect Crumbs to protect your privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Email masking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your <strong>email is one of the key components<\/strong> to your identity online. Advertisers are all too keen to collect your email address so they can identify you and your activity on their pages. With Crumbs Email Relay, you have the benefit of keeping your email address anonymous. Even if there\u2019s a data breach, your email address will remain safe from advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When using Crumbs Email Relay, you can generate email aliases and share those instead of your real email address. All received messages will appear in your inbox without the sender knowing what the correct destination is. The message is forwarded to your own personal email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advertising proxies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way Crumbs protects is by <strong>creating proxies for advertising requests<\/strong>. When your system is met with a request from an advertiser to allow an ad to display, Crumbs will create a proxy that will hide the user\u2019s real IP address from advertisers This way, the advertiser would not have access to the location and other identifying details about the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blocking tool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, of course, Crumbs\u2019 main attraction. <strong>Crumbs is an all-in-one blocker for cookies, trackers, and pop-ups<\/strong>. While browsing, you can entirely forego ever having to worry about these intrusive trackers and information collectors attaching themselves to you while online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumbs repels them and prevents them from bothering you at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-3.jpg\" alt=\"Crumbs\" class=\"wp-image-182113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-3-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-3-150x96.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy setup, excellent services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crumbs can be <strong>installed at the click of a button<\/strong> on your web browser. Once you\u2019ve got it, that\u2019s it. There\u2019s <strong>no maintenance, no subscription plan<\/strong>, nothing. Crumbs is 100% free and extremely simple to get started with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Crumbs only anonymous general information related to your overall preferences is shared. Without it, you\u2019re exposed to micro-targeting that is irreversibly connected to your personal identity. While the first is healthy for the value exchange with content creators that you appreciate, the latter tends to abuse your weakest spots. With granular control over your online identity, established by Crumbs Interests, Crumbs makes sure you remain purposefully anonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-4.jpg\" alt=\"Crumbs\" class=\"wp-image-182114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-4.jpg 700w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-4-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Crumbs-4-150x96.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All the privacy you need, quick and easy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s all there is to it. No hidden fees or subscription plans, and no strings attached. All it takes is a visit and a click to enable Crumbs, and you can enjoy a shield between you and advertisers to keep intrusive ads out of your online experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-xl,f_auto\/p\/39cbdf7a-7355-456e-80a1-191104f987e4\/3216562806\/crumbs-Crumbs%20Logo.png\" alt=\"Discover Crumbs Extension\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Discover Crumbs Extension<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/crumbs-best-privacy-from\/akommlakkhgbjbidpkkdcgbjgbeemdik?utm_source=Softonic&amp;utm_medium=Softonic&amp;utm_campaign=Crumbs_privacyforall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">TRY IT NOW<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--80\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"80\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"8\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">8<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-sponsored\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/crumbs-best-privacy-from\/akommlakkhgbjbidpkkdcgbjgbeemdik?utm_source=Softonic&amp;utm_medium=Softonic&amp;utm_campaign=Crumbs_privacyforall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take back the ability to keep your identity private on the internet.
