Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Privacy Badger sends the Global Privacy Control signal (https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) to opt you out of data sharing and selling, and the Do Not Track signal (https://www.eff.org/issues/do-not-track) to tell companies not to track you. If trackers ignore these signals, Privacy Badger will learn to block them.

Besides automatic tracker blocking, Privacy Badger replaces potentially useful trackers (video players, comments widgets, etc.) with click-to-activate placeholders, and removes outgoing link click tracking on Facebook and Google, with more privacy protections on the way.

Breaks way too many sites in Chrome. I realize that's the fault of the sites themselves, but if it's causing an inconvenience, then it isn't worth using.

I've been using this for a long time but I hadn't realised how much it had slowed my browsing down, and even completely stopped some safe sites from loading, until I disabled it. Now slow loading sites are back to the speeds they should be. I really liked this application when I started using it but something has gone badly wrong and until it's fixed by the developer I won't be using it again.

This application does the job it is designed to do very well. I am always interested in seeing the absurd number of intrusions that it has blocked in certain websites. My problem with it is that it seriously effects the working of a number of websites. In particular many websites are unable to play or load videos. While I am sure that some videos are problematic I dont believe as many as it is blocking are. The problem is that when you look at the drop down box it is impossible to see which of the elements being blocked are privacy related and which are content related. I am sure that this is somethign to do with the underlying content, but it means that bar spending 10 minutes every time I want to play a video, I simply end up turning off its protection, which defeats the point of having it in the first place. However most of the time this works without having to think about it

This has become insanely slow. When I open the options and try to make a change to blocking a site, it might take up to 60 seconds to respond after clicking one slider, and it locks up Chrome. Win10-64, i7 3.2GHz, 12GB ram, Samsung SSD.

Breaks a few sites (especially ones using dynamically loads reviews). The bigger issue, for me, is that it often chews up CPU time.

Used to work really well but recently it has suffered. Regularly the extension will prevent the page from loading. You'll see a "waiting for Privacy Badger" message. I assume it's because it's grabbing external scripts somewhere. There really should be a fall back option so that if it times out the page can still load. I keep having to disable it and am close to removing. I still have hope though!

This is a good extension, and it's worth using overall. However, it has a few problems that I'd love to see fixed in an update: - Speed, it does significantly slow down browsing and I'd hope it could be made faster. - Doesn't work with RefControl, and doesn't provide replacement functionality. I want to forge third-party referers as RefControl allows, but that's not possible with this extension. This causes some sites to behave unexpectedly (for example, forbes.com).

Periodically stops responding and only disabling and enabling it allows sites to load. Also breaks too many sites to be useful. Really, really, needs fixing then I'll consider it again.
