We only block tracking on OTHER websites. You can use these services directly without any issues. Q: Does this replace ad blockers? A: No. CleanSlate focuses specifically on privacy tracking. Use it alongside ad blockers like uBlock Origin for comprehensive protection. Q: Why should I trust CleanSlate with my privacy? A: Our code is open source and auditable. We don't collect ANY data - this is verifiable in the code. Unlike other "privacy" tools that track you, we practice what we preach. Q: Will this slow down my browser? A: No. Blocking happens at the network level before content downloads, which actually makes pages load faster. ═══════════════════════════════════════ 🌟 WHY CHOOSE CLEANSLATE?
