Rated 4 out of 5
by Extarys, 9 years agoFirst, I would like to thank EFF for this add-on.
The GUI would need some work, it looks 1995.
it doesn't block "everything" I prefer to block all Google stuff that I cannot block in my router but this doesn't block youtube ads and ads spies on you ;) (i know this is for privacy but ads on youtube makes so many ajax calls its ridiculous - and we know Google love knowing everything)
4/5 I would recommend but need another extension to fully satisfy my intense browsing
Maybe add a opt-out feature for ads that tracks us

- Rated 5 out of 5by BBVibe, 8 days agoWay better then any other privacy tool out there by miles and im excited to see how it improves. This has been a big help with my job and blocking pesky ads well doing research. I also love that its a badger and the little icon!

- Rated 5 out of 5by MONARCH, 9 days agoI've been using this add-on since the last 2 months and honestly, it's been a lot of help to me. I used to get a lot of ads and sometimes the sites forcefully uses all their tracking cookies to give me ads. I saw it on recommendation and thought I'll just give a try but it blew up my mind! I can also choose if I can block a domain and even block cookies! Nice work

If you run into a site that seems to be broken in some way (a video won't play), try disabling Privacy Badger for that site first:
1. Visit the site with the problem
2. Click on PB's icon in Firefox's toolbar
3. Click the "Disable for this site" button
Disabling on a site keeps PB active and protecting you on all other sites. Also, if the site is still broken afterwards, it probably wasn't Privacy Badger's fault. - Rated 5 out of 5by SplatMcGeeJnr, 9 days agoVery good extension, it learns and automatically blocks cookies and trackers without taking up your screen, Strongly recommended!

- Rated 5 out of 5by G. O'Neill, 21 days agoGot no idea what this thing actually does because I've got so many anti-trackers but it's been a fantastic addition to my arsenal and I love seeing the little "trackers blocked" thingamajig at the top of my screen and more digital privacy
