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.

I've had to disable this plugin because it seems to be messing with my Google login. A whitelist sure would be nice!

If it supported permanent whitelisting it would be much better. "Disable Privacy Badger for the site" only works for that instance. As soon as the page reloads, it's back on. EFF, please add a permanent whitelist capability!!!

For some reason, it blocks some screen sections that shouldn't do. For instance, I cannot see embedded youtube videos on facebook. "Requests to the server have been blocked by an extension". Once I disable it, it worked fine.

Works real well for it's intended purpose. It screws up Google Login on Gawker media sites though, I tried disabling it on this site only, but that doesn't work. I have to flat out disable all of privacy badger to get the google login's to work on Gawker media, and several other sites like Disqus. Then if you forget to turn it back on, It's useless.

It has the right idea, but it blocks too much, and doesn't let you customize it. I also found that if you want to log into a Google service, it won't let you stay logged in, I don't know if this is by design, but it should let you toggle certain aspects on and off if needed. Keep up the good work!

It blocks the two following Chrome settings and doesn't allow you to reactivate them (in Privacy): - Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors - Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar I love the second one and I don't understand why it is blocked by default in Chrome Omnibar but still works fine on Google homepage. I want to be able to control this setting.

Blocks Facebook rec/share button on advocacy sites, even if disabled on that site, and/or all Badger FB options opened for the page/site. Only allows display of the button if extension completely disabled. Hopefully this bug can be squashed, otherwise a useful extension.

As a developer of the extension I am certainly biased, but I've been running the alpha release in my main browser for a few months, and it works very well for me. We'll be monitoring the reviews here for bugs and trying to get those fixed as quickly as possible!
