News: Safari to Block Third-Party Tracking & Autoplay
Apple announced upcoming changes today to prevent third-party tracking of users and prevent autoplay, on Safari. Safari will prevent the recording (by anyone other than Apple) of users' browsing behavior, and by doing so prevent advertisers from targeting ads based on individuals' history.The announcement was made by Craig Federighi, the Apple Senior VP and head of software, at Apple's Worldwide Developers' Conference earlier today. The change will increase Safari users' privacy and their control over their browsing experience.

Intrusive ads tend to drive web users to block all ads; while sites often need ad income to keep running, users need some control over what they see and the ability to avoid risky and possibly virus-introducing advertisements. Compromises like this one could mitigate the "arms race" between advertisers and ad blockers.Don't Miss: Privacy Under Threat as More Android Apps Eavesdrop on AdsFollow Gadget Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and YouTube Follow Apple Hacks on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest Follow WonderHowTo on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+
