Show HN: Open-source Chrome extension for internet transparency and data privacy
- stolati 7y agoNice and neat tool to check out! But how is it different than all other privacy tools? pi-hole, uBlock, adBlock...
- inpooling 7y agoThanks for checking it out. Privacy Eye is NOT an ad/tracker blocker. It shows what's behind each website in a simple and intuitive way. Its main purpose is to improve internet transparency and educate non-tech users about internet and data privacy.

- dang 7y agoGetting friends to do promotional votes and comments isn't ok on HN. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. We ban sites and accounts for doing this, so please don't. Also, it's usually obvious to the HN community when this is happening, and they consider it spamming. We want users to upvote submissions that they personally find intellectually interesting, not because they or their friends have something to promote.
- inpooling 7y agoHi. Thanks for letting me know about this. Indeed, I told my developer friends to check out our open source project and give us an upvote if they liked it. Ok. Now I know that it is not allowed! Then please make a banner on the submit form. A feedback for HN: if you are looking for stories, then delete show HN category. There is no story in what I want to show. It's simply the project that I wanted more developers to know. That's why I put in the "Show HN" category -> to show to HN. If you don't want people to show the projects, why did you have this category?? Very contradictory. Also please remember that - No algorithms are perfect, neither are human's judgements!
- dang 7y ago"Stories" in this context is just a synonym for submissions, i.e. top level posts as opposed to comments. I've edited my comment above to use the other word.
- inpooling 7y agoThat's fair. Since I have asked friends to upvote, so I have nothing to argue about the penalty. The rule is the rule. Questions: I only have 2 karma, will HN prioritize posts posted by people with more karmas - with the assumption that the posts have similar "interesting" level of content? If I want to resubmit, will I still get penalty for my github link?

- tomdaniel 7y agoThis is a simple yet interesting tool. It's nice to have an easy sneak peak into how websites are tracking me. And I love the logo!
- inpooling 7y agoThanks Tom for checking it out. Glad that you like it!
- Nishchit14 7y agoInteresting, I know it's just starting, but I wish the UI will improve in the future.
