Block trackers and read the Protection screen

Three cards sit at the top: Blocked today, Last 7 days and In total. Under them are three lists: By type, By profile and Last 7 days, where a day has its date and a bar.

Until something is blocked after the last reset, the cards read zero, and in place of the three lists the screen says “Nothing blocked yet. Launch a profile.”, explains in one sentence what is counted here and offers Go to profiles.

The first blocked request brings the lists back, and the numbers then change by themselves while the screen is open.

A profile checks the address of the requests its pages make against its tracker lists, and a request that matches is cancelled before it leaves the computer. Those cancelled requests go into the counters along with the other types below.

Both engines use the same lists. On ARMANOS Browser the counts arrive in short batches, so a number can trail the page by a moment.

The counts are kept on this computer and stay after you close ARMANOS. Nothing sends them to your account, to a teammate or to your other computer.

Trackers are requests to the addresses on the tracker lists, such as analytics, session recording and ad pixel services. Sites reporting on what you do counts the reports a platform sends to its own site about what you do there, which a list of other sites' addresses does not catch.

Links cleaned counts page addresses that carried tracking tails such as utm tags, fbclid or gclid, cut off before the page loads.

Beacons are reports a page sends by beacon, often as you leave it: the page is told the report went, and nothing goes. WebSocket tracking is the typing and read signals of chats, dropped in Social media profiles.

This screen switches nothing on. A profile blocks from its first page, and its scenario decides which lists and rules it carries.

Privacy, E-commerce and Freelance carry the general list and link cleaning. Social media adds the LinkedIn and social platform lists, the platforms' own reporting rules and the chat signals, and Ad accounts adds the ad pixel list with rules for Google Ads and Facebook.

There is no switch that turns blocking off for a profile. A profile that is open picks up a new scenario at its next launch.

By type and By profile hold today's counts and start from zero at midnight by this computer's clock. The Last 7 days card adds up the rows of the Last 7 days list, and In total runs from the last reset.

The list holds exactly seven days of this computer's calendar: the six days before today and today at the bottom. A day when nothing was blocked shows as zero.

By profile puts the busiest profiles first and shows the top of the list. A profile in the Recycle bin shows as Deleted profile, and Delete permanently removes its row.

The button at the bottom right asks first and then clears the counters, the daily history included. The lists and rules inside your profiles stay as they were.
