by spurkl3z, 6 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 6 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.

Privacy Badger is an excellent Firefox extension that automatically blocks invisible trackers, boosting your online privacy without the need for constant fine-tuning. Developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), it prioritizes privacy, transparency, and ethical browsing practices.
Pros:
✅ Smart blocking: Automatically learns to block trackers as you browse, adapting to new threats.
✅ No filter lists needed: Unlike traditional ad blockers, Privacy Badger detects sneaky trackers dynamically.
✅ Easy to use: Simple, intuitive interface with no complex settings required.
✅ Privacy-respecting: Open-source and built by a trusted non-profit organization.
✅ Lightweight and efficient: Doesn’t slow down your browser or hog resources.
Cons:
❌ Not a full ad blocker: While it blocks many trackers, it doesn’t specifically target ads, so some may still appear.
❌ Occasional website breakage: Like all privacy tools, it can sometimes block essential site elements, but you can easily adjust the settings.
💡 Overall, Privacy Badger is a fantastic tool for enhancing your privacy while browsing with Firefox. Its automatic, adaptive approach makes it perfect for users who want reliable protection without micromanaging filters. Highly recommended! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17944400, 11 days ago
