我們的論文發展一種新的方法，主要針對Facebook social plugins，當使用者瀏覽網頁時，我們的方法會防止social plugins送出隱私資訊，更進一步，讓social plugins無法辨識使用者的資訊，因此我們的方法能夠保護使用者上網的隱私，且不會影響使用者體驗，使用者依然可以正常看到social plugins在網頁上，且可以有效防止使用者被Facebook追蹤，我們實作在Chrome瀏覽器的套件，稱”PrivCat”。;Nowadays, numerous websites embed the social plugins, such as Facebook Like button and Google “+1” button. Users interact with the websites by using social plugins. Websites utilize social plugins to improve the exposure. However, whether users trigger the social plugins or not, all web pages which they visited are tracked by social networking service. Hence, social networking service causes the user privacy issues. However, most of the users know nothing about this.
We develop a novel method for solving privacy issues on Facebook social plugins. When user browses a webpage with Facebook social plugins, our method prevents social plugins from sending information about the user privacy. Furthermore, the method enables social plugins not to identify the information of the user. Therefore, our method protects Internet user privacy. The advantage of our method is that it does not affect the user experience by which the user can still see the social plugins on the webpage. In addition, our method can effectively prevent the user from being tracked by Facebook. We implemented our methods on Chrome browser platform, called “PrivCat”.
