Safari prevents advertiser’s trackers from following you all over the web. It can also tell you which websites tried to collect data on you, and how many it’s blocked. Here’s how to generate your privacy report on Safari.

First, open Safari on your Mac from the Launchpad or by searching for it on Spotlight. Click “Safari” in the menu bar at the top left.

Click Safari in the menu bar

Select “Privacy Report.”

Visit Privacy Report on Safari

Safari will then launch a new window with details including how many trackers it blocked from profiling you, the percentage of websites you visited that had trackers, and more.

To do so, go to the website you want to inspect, and then click the shield icon to the left of the address bar. In the window that appears, you’ll see how many third-party trackers Safari prevented from keeping tabs on you.
