The trackers that Safari shows in macOS Big Sur

Big Sur Anti-Tracking

Among the outstanding novelties of the new macOS 11 Big Sur operating system, we came across a very interesting one about web page crawlers. In this case, we have already talked about its operation previously and it is automatic, but today we will see the practical case of it.

We can say that it is something that is integrated into Safari itself and that prevents trackers from following us between the websites we visit and informs us at click on the trackers icon that each of these websites has.

The subject of data collection ...

Big Sur Anti-Tracking

And it is increasingly "normal" for websites to accept the collection of data (called trackers) by companies so that they can track our activity on the network. In this case the trackers are activated on a website and may be able to follow us on a single profile that reaches advertisers directly. Apple wants Know at all times the detail of these and the percentage of the websites you visit with this type of trackers. 

For this reason, it offers the information in the toolbar itself by clicking on the «i». In it we see data about trackers and websites. If you want to remove the icon that appears in the toolbar Safari is as simple as clicking on the bar itself with the right mouse button> Customize tools ...> drag the icon out of the bar and that's it. The "Privacy Report" will no longer be visible on the bar.
