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.

Causes Chrome.exe to lingering around for some time after closing the browser. Disk and memory activity observed in Win 8 Task Manager. Try closing Chrome and immediately trying to open it again. With Privacy Badger disabled Chrome.exe unloads fast on browser close.

Like the function, but it seems to mess up the layout in Chrome for certain sites such as Netflix and New York Times, among others.

Thanks to the developers for this app. My paranoia was justified

I've been a user since almost the first day this was released. At first there were some issues staying signed into Google Plus and a few other Google services, no other issues outside of Google's walled garden. Lately it works well with Google too. I highly recommend this app. We have to stick together to keep the bastages mostly honest. Google is one of the worst offenders.

Need configurable exclusion list/whitelist. The longer I use it the worse it interferes with google AND other logins!!

As a side-effect it seems to disable also omnibox prediction service (Chcekbox in settings: "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar or the app launcher search box"). Maybe it should be optional / configurable?

Love the idea, but it messes up my logins to Google and Kinja. How about an option for exceptions?
