Browser Guard will now send helpful notifications to users when they visit a website belonging to a company that has suffered a proven data breach in the past 90 days, perhaps warning users about recent data breaches they never heard about.
(Browser Guard will not send repeat notifications that pester return users.)

Browser Guard is also making it easier to stay private online by automatically opting users out of data collection performed by tracking cookies that are littered across the internet, with no extra effort required on users' behalf...  "cookie consent" forms will now be auto-rejected, thus requesting the site to honor the most privacy-preserving settings.
