- Rated 4 out of 5by Serge P., 8 years agoBadger automatically blocks (eats) suspicious cookies and sometimes even blocks all HTTP-queries for very suspicious domain names. So mostly you can relax and forget about all the anti-tracking job. I liked the graph which shows what trackers are treated in which way. On the other hand, Badger had kept breaking some sites (for example online-banking) before I white-listed them. Badger learns as it works so, perhaps it will detect enemies better if I use it longer.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Admiral Ackbar, 8 years agoPrivacy badger gives me peace of mind! They clearly show what cookies or trackers are blocked and why, and they come from EFF with a great record for privacy protection!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12956520, 8 years agoDifferently than other applications that might break a page, this one actually analyzes traffic and behaviour of trackers to determinate which ones are tracking you and which ones are not, progressively blocking privacy risks without hurting your web experience. A must have!
- Rated 4 out of 5by JuzBeKind, 8 years agoThis addon is great at blocking tracking/spying objects on web pages, but, unfortunately, when it's enabled, I get little chunks of lag when typing text into a comment field or when scrolling a web page; even when scrolling the Firefox addons page (about:addons).
I think, perhaps, they tested it using new, powerful computers and need to re-test it on some older computers. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12948100, 8 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12869517, 8 years agoVery user friendly interface. Never breaks websites and blocks brilliantly. Didn't expect anything else from the electronic frontier foundation. 5/5!
- Rated 4 out of 5by rwizard , 8 years agoI love EFF, and the Badger is cute, but as long as ads are a vector for malware, I need to block ALL of them. So EFF, help pressure the industry to get serious about security. Ads must not have any sort of scripting or dynamic media. BTW, we now have stegaongraphic concealment of malware in ads? Yikes. I want to support sites, but we need simple text/static image ads, and our beloved Badger needs to block everything until that happens.
- Rated 5 out of 5by TheNellster, 8 years agoThis does a great job of blocking tracking software but permits adverts that don't track, giving sites you use the revenue some of them require to survive.
I have no problem with adverts, as such - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11872172, 8 years agoI hoped the recent code rewrite would also mean Android compatible. Great work devs
