Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 13414726, 7 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 Maybe my laptop is too outdated.for privacy badger...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 4 out of 5by Kirk, 8 days ago"Auto block trackers" sounds good.
But the reality is, this caused so many troubles.
It breaks so many websites, so I often had to turn it off.
In the end, I just stopped using this.Developer response
posted 8 days agoIt would be great to know which websites broke, so that we could fix them for all Privacy Badger users. Feel free to email extension-devs@eff.org - Rated 5 out of 5by Th4t, 9 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by FFReviewAccount, 19 days agoHelps with tracking from corporations. You can trust the EFF and therefore this addon. If you can, send them a donation. EFF does so much for internet privacy that most people don't know about. We need them!
