Google is tracking website visitors on 86% of the top 50,000 websites on the planet, according to a recent study from DuckDuckGo, the privacy-focused Google competitor.
That’s over twice as many as Facebook.
In response, the company is releasing DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar, a dataset of trackers that it collects as it spiders millions of websites for the DuckDuckGo search engine. That dataset powers DuckDuckGo’s own privacy-centric browser extensions and mobile apps, and can now be freely incorporated into any other company’s privacy toolset.
