Social media
With Shariff, website operators protect the privacy of their visitors from the excessive curiosity of social networks such as Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. For visitors, one click is enough to share a page with friends.
With Shariff, you can use social media without unnecessarily risking your privacy. The c’t project Shariff replaces the usual share buttons of social networks and protects your surfing behaviour from prying eyes. Nevertheless, a single click on the button is enough to share information with others. You don’t have to do anything else for this – the webmaster has already taken care of everything.
