Abine Launches To Help Web Users Regain Control Over Their Privacy, Acquires T.A.C.O.
TACO will become part of Abine’s suite of privacy tools. The new version of the add-on has been upgraded both to allows you to opt-out of even more ad-networks and to block hundreds of other Web tracking technologies used by companies (including Google, AOL, Yahoo!, Facebook, and Microsoft), to collect, store and sell extremely personal information about individuals’ Internet activity. TACO 3.0 also added support for Internet Explorer.
Abine’s other privacy apps in its suite include a secure log-in app, a plug-in to protect your email and phone number, and an automatic form filling app. Privacy is a huge consumer concern at the moment, so Abine’s launch and acquisition of TACO is timely.
