Almost 5 years after I joined Cliqz, the company will be [shutting down](https://cliqz.com/en/magazine/farewell-from-cliqz)
and cease to operate as it has done up to this point. This post is a look back at some of the exiting things
we built during that time from my perspective, working on privacy and our web browsers.

### Anti-tracking

Our anti-tracking, released in 2015, was---and still is---one of the most sophisticated anti-tracking systems available.
The Cliqz browser had this anti-tracking enabled by default from it's first version, while at that time no other browser
had any protection by default (Safari's ITP would come two years later). Now all major browsers (except Chrome) ship with
tracking protections that are enabled by default, and Chrome are looking to deprecate third-party cookies entirely within
two years.<commit_msg>Fix typo<commit_after>---
