- Rated 5 out of 5by adamhybel, 5 hours agoPrivacy Badger isn't just another blocker; it's an intelligent privacy shield specifically designed to stop non-consensual third-party tracking, enhancing your online anonymity.
- Focuses on Privacy: Its primary goal is to detect and block invisible trackers (like third-party cookies and scripts) that monitor your activity across different websites without your consent.
- Learns As You Browse: Unlike relying solely on lists, Privacy Badger automatically learns to identify and block domains that appear to be tracking you based on their behavior.
- Developed by the EFF: Created and maintained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a leading non-profit defending digital rights. This ensures its focus is purely on user privacy – it's free, open-source, and trustworthy.
- Works Out of the Box: Simply install it, and Privacy Badger starts protecting you immediately by observing and blocking trackers automatically. No complex configuration is needed for excellent protection.
- Empowers Users: While automatic, it provides clear visual feedback on what it's doing and allows users to easily override its decisions if needed (though rarely necessary).
That's it! Keep Privacy Badger enabled alongside your content blocker for a layered defense. It's an essential tool for anyone concerned about online tracking and wanting to reclaim their digital privacy. Huge thanks to the EFF for developing and maintaining this vital extension. Highly recommended for everyone! - Rated 5 out of 5by Rich, 18 hours ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18947369, 6 days agoI think this is better than any tracker blocker but there should be a way to see what trackers are doing what on the website, highlighting the section it is being used in.

- Rated 5 out of 5by delta, 13 days agoThis extension is excellent and should be a default for anyone who cares about their privacy (which you should, even if you think you "have nothing to hide"). Privacy is a basic human right, and it has been trampled on time and time again by these awful companies. It is time to fight back.
Support the EFF in any way you can! They are actively defending our rights and fighting to make the internet better. I also recommend their podcast, How to Fix the Internet. Donate if you can, and spread the word. - Rated 5 out of 5by eduardo, 13 days ago
