by spurkl3z, 8 years agoi really like the addon and more so the devs' mentality with it, although id like easier managing of which domains you allow block cookies and block, theres a couple thousand of them and honestly i wish to at least block all cookies of every single one of them. but clicking each one individually isnt something im gonna spend my time on lol. other than that, good work!

posted 8 years agoHello and thank you!
Generally speaking, I suggest leaving the sliders alone and letting Privacy Badger do its job automatically. Privacy Badger learns to block a domain once it sees that domain track you on three different websites. The idea is to stop trackers from following you around the Web; being allowed to load once or twice should not be a big deal.

- Rated 5 out of 5by gotn, 6 days agoA great way to prevent my data from sitting on a random server somewhere. I wish I knew about this sooner before Tech companies already knew everything about me. Still, this is a step in the right direction.
The team is awesome and thanks for developing a great product! - Rated 5 out of 5by Amisca, 9 days ago

Thank you for protecting us from dirty shellfish and horrible tech's from tracking and selling and who knows what they are gonna do it. But its possible to use for war? Lets be honest we dont know what is it will be done with those data. I mean we dont know where how when etc. Sorry for my terrible English.
