How much "less" functionality does the EU version of WPS Office 201

Wolf, others,

It reduces tracking of searches (but can't turn off tracking in a website
your visit.)

Mostly the point is not if a single website can see that you are visiting
them (nor which pages you are looking at). The tracking (stalking?) problem
exists when one company tries to follow your vistits of other, not related
and not under their control, websites.

The easiest way to stop this kind of tracking is to disallow the retrival of
third-party content: Not downloading spypixels (1x1, transparent or
otherwise made invisible images) and/or displayed logo-images (but any other
content will do as well) from fully other websites means no tracking (by
cookie, HTTP referrer or other means) is possible.


In my case I'm using FireFox and have the RequestPolicy plugin installed.
It by default blocks any-and-all third-party requests, but it can be told to
allow certain requests in an "from whomever" but also a "only from this
website" mode, in both a permanent as well as a "for this session only"
setting.

That means that you could block all FaceBook (or other social media)
retrieval attempts from all sites you might be visiting (during a search
with DuckDuckGo ofcourse), but still allow it for that one website you often
visit and where a connection with FaceBook will be beneficial to you.

One added benefit of not allowing third-party content is also that my
exposure to advertisements is minimized. :-)
