Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 13414726, 8 years agoI'm giving 5 stars solely because it was made by EFF, and it does seem to deliver on what it promises, and it is a damn important thing to have, For me, unfortunately, I had to uninstall , because whenever I clicked on the icon, my browser would freeze, and I would get unresponsive script. Firefox always managed to recover gracefully, but still an inconvenience. Never had a similar problem while using ABP, what it seems to be based on, but I've since moved to uBlock Origin which also works flawlessly. Maybe my laptop is too outdated.for privacy badger...

- Rated 5 out of 5by ArbiterRegnant, 2 days agoThe reason I stopped using it is by NO means any fault of its own or even warranting anything lower than a 5-star review. I still love Privacy Badger and think it's an essential for almost everyone. But, I'm saying that you can get an even better effect by combining the DuckDuckGo Extension with Ghostly, making this partially redundant. If that ever fails me, however, I know exactly where to fall back to: here.

- Rated 5 out of 5by BBVibe, 10 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, 12 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, 12 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, 23 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
