Real-time privacy scoring and protection. Know what every website does with your data — before you share it. TraceGuard gives every site you visit a transparent, real-time privacy audit with a clear 0–100 Website Safety Score, plus a personal User Privacy Score that tracks your privacy health over time. Unlike silent blockers, TraceGuard shows you exactly what's happening and why, so you can make informed decisions about your digital footprint. What TraceGuard does • Website Safety Score (WSS): A 0–100 safety rating for every site, based on reputation, tracker activity, cookies, input fields, and policy strength. • User Privacy Score (UPS): A dynamic behavioral score that reflects your personal privacy health over time. • Real-time tracker detection: Identifies third-party trackers using a curated list plus bundled databases (DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar, EasyPrivacy, and Disconnect). • Personal data protection: Detects sensitive form inputs — emails, passwords, payment details — and warns you before you submit personal data to low-trust sites. • Cookie auditing: Detects tracking cookies from Set-Cookie headers and the DOM. Only names and metadata are read, never cookie values. • Policy grading: Knows how trustworthy a site's terms are before you agree, via ToS;DR — with an optional live lookup you can enable. • Phishing & malware protection: Blocks dangerous sites using frequently updated blocklists (OpenPhish and phishunt), verified with signed, tamper-proof updates. Why install TraceGuard • See a privacy score for every site before you browse, not after. • Catch trackers and risky forms before they catch your data. • Every score is backed by transparent, explainable evidence — no black boxes. • Works quietly in the background with a modern dashboard, side panel, and notifications. Your privacy, guaranteed TraceGuard is local-first. Everything runs on-device — no accounts, no telemetry, no data collection. Sensitive data is protected behind an optional master password (the "vault"), and threat-feed matching happens entirely on your device, so your browsing is never sent to a third party. Open source and free. TraceGuard is AGPL-3.0 licensed and community-maintained.
