It works with Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome web browser. This new system, "Cowl' will save you from information leaks to third party. 'COWL' prototype has also been tested for Chrome and Firefox web browsers and it has lived up to its investigation. This system is currently in a paper by researchers and soon it will be shared.
