Die 5 Browsereinstellungen, die jeder heute ändern sollte

24. Juni 2026 · 2 Minuten Lesezeit · Kommentare

Die meisten Browser verfügen über Einstellungen, die Werbetreibende gegenüber Ihnen bevorzugen. Diese fünf Änderungen dauern weniger als fünf Minuten und hindern die meisten Websites stillschweigend daran, alles zu verfolgen, was Sie tun.

1. Blockieren Sie Cookies von Drittanbietern

• Third-party cookies are placed by advertisers on sites you visit, then read by those same advertisers on every other site you go to. This is how a shoe ad follows you around the internet.
• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies → Block third-party cookies.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → Strict.

2. Aktivieren Sie DNS-over-HTTPS

• Every time you type a web address, your browser asks a DNS server to translate it into an IP address. By default, this request is sent in plain text — meaning your internet provider (and anyone on the same network) can see every site you visit.
• DNS-over-HTTPS encrypts that lookup so it's unreadable to anyone in the middle.
• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Security → Use secure DNS → With: Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).

3. Aktivieren Sie den Nur-HTTPS-Modus

• HTTPS encrypts the connection between your browser and the website. HTTP does not. On a plain HTTP site, anyone sharing your Wi-Fi can read exactly what you send and receive.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → HTTPS-Only Mode → Enable in all windows.
• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Security → Always use secure connections.

4. Standort-, Kamera- und Mikrofonberechtigungen widerrufen

• Websites you visited months ago may still have permanent access to your location or camera. Most never need it again.
• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → review Location, Camera, Microphone. Revoke anything you don't recognise.
• Set the default for each to "Ask before accessing" rather than "Allow".

5. Deaktivieren Sie „Nutzungsstatistiken senden“

• Chrome and Edge send usage data and crash reports back to Google and Microsoft by default. This includes URLs of pages you visit and diagnostic information about your activity.
• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → toggle off "Help improve Chrome's features and performance".
• Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → toggle off all diagnostic data options.

Diese fünf Änderungen machen Sie online nicht unsichtbar, aber sie stoppen die häufigsten und aufdringlichsten Formen des Trackings – kostenlos und in weniger als fünf Minuten.
