Blocks known trackers, removes tracking tags, and shows a warning light. Your browsing is not sent off this device. Mosquito9 is a free browser extension from Mampi Technologies Ltd. It blocks known third-party trackers, removes common tracking tags from web addresses when a page opens, and shows a green, amber or red warning light. Your browsing stays on your device. There are no accounts and no analytics. Page addresses are checked on your device, never sent anywhere and never kept as a browsing history. The only downloads are two public threat lists, about once a day. They come from GitHub, which can see your IP address, as with any download. They never include the site you are visiting. THE WARNING LIGHT Red: the site is on a known threat list, or the address looks like an imitation of a well-known site. A full-page warning appears. You can leave, or continue for this browsing session. Amber: the page is not secure (http), or it has a password box on an http page. Green: secure, not on a threat list and not a look-alike. The panel says "No known threats found on this page" and shows how many trackers were blocked. Mosquito9 warns about known threats and suspicious signs. It cannot catch everything. ALLOW THIS SITE turns tracker blocking off for one site only. Link cleaning and red warnings still work. WHAT MOSQUITO9 DOES NOT DO It is not antivirus software and not a VPN. It does not catch every threat or block every tracker. The tracker list is EasyPrivacy; the browser has room for 30,000 rules, so the most common ones are kept. It does not send your browsing off your device. Privacy policy: https://mampitech.com/mosquito9/privacy.html
