3hb Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 ok when browser gets slow I run CCleaner. Sometimes it finds 22 trackers, and removes 25. Sometimes finds 2,234 or more and removes 18ish. Sometime don't understand why I spent money to get pro version. Is there such a thing as PRO ACTIVE tracker preventing? Too much techie talk, button, switch, moving for me. I want something to prevent trackers so I don't have to stop what I'm doing close browsers, run CC and go back to work. Help with simple suggestions please. Thank you so very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your screenshot shows the FREE version, and what's more a FREE version that is over a year old? The current CCleaner version is 5.84. Having said that the Free and Pro clean the same things. You have to close a browser to clean it properly. I think you may also have a missunderstanding of just what browser 'Trackers' are? (They are 'tracking cookies', they are not malware). Have a read of this, it's as simple as I could make it while still explaining things: *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

The one I use is uBlock Origin. uBlock Origin for Firefox:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ uBlock Origin for Google Chrome and Chromium:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm uBlock Origin for Microsoft Edge Chromium: In the Windows Start Menu visit the Microsoft Store and search for it.
