Disconnect, a little app that makes the web a lot better. Nowadays the web is cluttered with advertising, analytics, and social widgets. These widgets slow down the pages you go to, send your personal info to tracking company, and expose you to attackers. Disconnect puts you in control of your data for faster, more private, more secure browsing. And unlike other filtering apps, Disconnect is optimized for speed. Pages use 17% less bandwidth and load 27% faster as a result. Here's how. Disconnect is a smart filter that stops over 2,000 third party sites from tracking you. Double any alternative privacy app. The companies that collect personal info are shown in real time as pages load. Green means you're being protected from these companies.

Whenever possible, disconnect encrypts the data you do exchange with common sites, so an eavesdropper can't steal your data or break into your accounts. The app also filters potential sources of malware. Last but not least, disconnect is open source, pay what you want software. Fast, private, secure. Get disconnect.
