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.

Really solid tracker blocker- sometimes breaks sites and you have to adjust settings- may confuse anyone who isn't a web dev. Does a nice job of fairly comprensnsive blocking of major trackers.

Blocks literally nothing unless you manually go through each ad network per page... meaning that latimes article you clicked? Yeah prepare to go through each of the 57 ad networks individually everytime you visit a page. You'll spend more time individually filtering the ad networks then reading the article you clicked on, and at some point you might wonder what exactly the extension does?

This extension seems to prevent Facebook's nosiness with my Google searches. Only suggestion is to improve stability since Chrome is more crash prone since adding this.

Perhaps I'm biased toward EFF, but the UI on Privacy Badger seems to do the best job of explaining the allow / block relationship with third parties of any of the tracker blocking extensions. A number of reviewers are confused about the way that trackers start as "green" when the extension is first installed; it takes a bit of browsing before the Badger's heuristics will recognise and classify every tracker. There are definitely some things that need to be improved before this is out of "beta": detection of trackers that use supercookies but not regular cookies, optimization of performance and memory usage, better post-install explanation of the code.

The only one you can trust because if the EFF can't be trusted who else can?

It's the only block tracker extension made by a non profitable company. It's the only one you can really trust. Please keep up your good work!
