About Dead Screen

Browse with more privacy automatically. Dead Screen helps reduce invisible tracking while you browse. It blocks many common third-party trackers, removes unnecessary tracking information from links, and helps limit the data websites can collect in the background. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT DEAD SCREEN HELPS WITH ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 Tracker Blocking Blocks requests to many common third-party analytics and tracking networks before they load. 🔹 Cleaner Links & Fewer Tracking Parameters Removes common campaign tags and click identifiers from navigation links to help reduce cross-site tracking. 🔹 Telemetry Scrubbing When a website sends recognizable telemetry data, Dead Screen can remove high-risk fields such as email addresses, user IDs, session identifiers, and ad-click IDs when it is safe to do so. 🔹 Visibility & Focus Protection Strict protection helps limit common scripts that check whether a page is visible, focused, or in the background. 🔹 Fingerprinting Mitigations Strict protection also adds safeguards around common fingerprinting techniques involving canvas, WebGL, audio, and selected browser properties. 🔹 Local Tracking Insights See a session-only summary of tracker activity, telemetry cleanup, and privacy signals directly in the extension. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ YOUR BROWSING ACTIVITY STAYS LOCAL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Dead Screen runs inside your browser. • No browsing activity is sent to Dead Screen servers • No external analytics service is used • No remote code or remote tracking policy is downloaded • Tracking Insights stay in the browser session and clear when the session ends Chrome may show permission warnings because Dead Screen needs access to website pages and network requests to apply privacy protections locally. Those permissions are used for functionality, not data collection. Dead Screen is designed to work automatically. If a specific website needs normal visibility behavior or becomes incompatible, per-site compatibility controls are available to reduce or disable protection only for that site. Dead Screen is a browser privacy tool. It helps reduce tracking inside supported browser pages, but it does not protect activity in other apps or secure an already-compromised device.
