Show HN: I made a tool that prevents websites from tracking you
What's happening
A developer released a browser tool that claims to prevent websites from tracking you, presented in a Show HN thread. The author notes AI was used for formatting but insists the tool itself is not just 'AI slop.' Related community threads discuss privacy-friendly AI for API use and an open-source project called SentryCode, a kernel-level behavior auditor that logs file, network and cue activity, uses honeypot tokens for zero-false-positive breach detection, detects steganographic covert channels, and provides tamper-proof audio logging.
Why it's trending
Privacy concerns around AI agents, telemetry and prompt/data reuse are driving demand for tools that stop tracking and protect user data right now.

If your 'anti-tracking' browser tool leans on AI for formatting, don't assume that's the hard part solved, tracking lives deeper than UI polish.

- Cheap and privacy-friendly AI for API usage?
Hi, I am doing a project and I want an AI to be used via API which is privacy-friendly. Although I like Deepseek, it seems they use the prompts for learning etc, so it would be a big no for my project as it handles user info.

I know we are very wary of AI slop but disclaimer: AI was used. I don't think that it is slop though and it was mostly used for formatting.
HackerNewsJul 3 - SentryCode: Real-time Auditor + Honeytokens for AI Coding Agents [P]
In light of recent privacy concerns arising from local AI coding agents performing telemetry, environmental scanning, and hidden cue fingerprinting, I've open-sourced SentryCode—a kernel-level behavior auditing tool. It logs file/network/cue activity, uses honeypot tokens for zero-false-positive data breach detection, detects steganographically encrypted covert channels, provides tamper-proof audi
