Microsoft's IE9 browser will let users control what information they share with others online, according to Tony Neate, managing director of Get Safe Online.
"Anything that puts the user in control and gives them more knowledge of exactly what is going on in their computer has got to be a good thing," he said.
"People will be making an informed decision as to whether they are going to stay on a website and whether the information being shared is something they want to do. It gives a lot more control back to the user as to where they go and what information they give out," he added.
IE9 will give users an opt-in mechanism that will allow them to identify and block information from websites that they visit.
Microsoft has said that the combination of consumer opt-in, an open platform for publishing of Tracking Protection Lists, and the underlying technology mechanism for Tracking Protection will offer users new options and a good balance between empowering them and meeting the needs of the online industry.
