Wrapping Up The Week: Releasing Spybot Anti-Beacon 3.9
February 18, 2023 - 8:17 pmIt’s time for another update to Spybot Anti-Beacon. Anti-Beacon 3.9 brings the usual small bugfixes (e.g. updates to OpenSSL 3.0), some preparations for localized versions to come, and a massive list of new tracking stuff it protects against. New are a lot of immunizers for Firefox, but there’s also more Windows tracking and some bits for gamers. A complete list can be found at the below. Look for the update within Anti-Beacon or download from the website.
Speaking about Firefox, we found a privacy focused variant of it called LibreWolf and added support to BrowsAlyzer 3.0.5 and the upcoming Spybot 2.9.85.5 release.
