Kamo

Stop being tracked online.

What is Kamo?
Kamo is a powerful Firefox add-on designed to protect your online privacy. Unlike regular VPNs and ad-blockers, Kamo deals with your browser settings, installed fonts, and device type that contribute to your digital fingerprint. Such information is regularly used by trackers to profile your online activities. By feeding trackers with fake information, Kamo effectively stops 75% of websites who track their visitors, uncovers sneaky trackers, and syncs automatically with all your browsers. It also stops websites from leaving cookies and automatically erases your browsing history across browsers. The Kamo extension ensures no user data is collected.

Summary
Analyze keywords

This extension is intended to work with the Kamo Windows application. It does not display any additional data or graphics, it just allows Kamo to do its magic.

Every time you connect to a service, the specific makeup of your device and browser gets collected and tied together. This is your digital fingerprint, and it’s used to track you around online and build a profile of your online life.

Why ad blockers and VPNs aren’t enough ?

Ad-blockers stop ads from appearing on your device, and VPNs hide your IP address, but neither does anything about the settings in your browser, the fonts installed, the type of device you’re using, and other details that can give you away.

Digital fingerprinting is rampant:

  • 75% of websites track their visitors
  • 3000+ pieces of data about you are stitched together from different websites
  • 99% accuracy in identifying people through digital fingerprinting
