‘Microsoft Ad Says IE Is Privacy Leader: What’s The Real Story?’ – ‘ReadWrite’

The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Microsoft Ad Says IE Is Privacy Leader: What’s The Real Story?”.

Mark Hachman says, “On Monday, Microsoft premiered a television ad that portrays its Internet Explorer as the defender of user privacy among modern browsers.

The ad highlights IE’s use of Do Not Track and its Tracking Protection Lists as effective tools in preserving online privacy, implying that Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s Safari and Opera fail to keep up with Microsoft’s principled stand on privacy.

Six months ago, Microsoft might have had a point. Now, however, many privacy advocates say that IE is the browser now falling behind in the privacy wars – because it doesn’t block third-party tracking cookies by default”.
