It's not a blatantly obvious extension, but you really do get a sense of just how many trackers there are on the web, it's kind of shocking - at least this helps you claw back some measure of control over them

It's effect might not be so obvious, but it is really interesting to find out just how many trackers are following you :D You also get rid of those followers :P

This anti-tracker software is wonderful in that it shows you in a slider-mode, what is currently being blocked. I tried another privacy add-on that didn't show what exactly was being blocked. I think it was adaware. I like to allow certain trackers to track me or advertisers to show their adds. In other words, I have control, thanks to privacy badger showing what is blocked fully, halway, or not blocked. Some sites I like to give cudos to and some, not at all. Privacy Badger allows that kind of control. I only would like to see it automatically reload the tab if I change the sliders. I wait for a few seconds and it doesn't do this. So I manually reload the tab. Maybe it does this, and I am not giving it enough time to reload tab, or ? Anyway, thanks to the developers of Privacy Badger at EFF for their work and offering of this utility.
