Trackers are a common feature on most websites. These little scripts of code allow websites to learn about your preferences and how you interact on the site. Google Analytics allows websites to determine which content is the most popular and least popular. Although they aren’t necessarily bad, the information they provide can be used to enhance your experience. However, some people may not like them.
Safari’s new Privacy Report is one of its most useful features. It will show you how many trackers each website has and also how many trackers Safari blocked. A report showing the top trackers-laden websites can be viewed as well. How to Check Your Privacy Report
Tap the aA icon in the upper left corner of Safari.
Click on Privacy Report.
You’ll find the number of trackers Safari blocked over a given month at the top. It’s also possible to see how many trackers your websites have. Scroll down to see a list with all the trackers that you have visited.
