by Firefox user 13657949, 7 years agoPrivacy is important to an open internet. Views need time to grow before they can be shared with the world, art needs time to be made before it can be shared. It should be your decision, not someone else's, when and where your heart is shared.
The only way to ensure privacy is working is for it to be open and transparent. The EFF's Privacy Badger is the only web app I know of that algorithmically decides what to block which means it's always up to date -- as opposed to whitelists and blacklists that can fall out of date -- and more importantly if you know the algorithm then you can immediately understand how it works without needing to reference the decisions made for thousands upon thousands of white/black decisions that you could never hope to double-check yourself.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kelson, 8 days agoI use it alongside Firefox's built-in tracking protection for the embedded media placeholders.
(Sadly, it no longer auto-detects new trackers, because someone figured out how to track you using *that*, so it uses a pre-generated list now unless you *really* want to turn learning back on.)Developer response

We like the click-to-activate widget replacements too, but Privacy Badger is more than that: https://privacybadger.org/#Is-Privacy-Badger-compatible-with-Firefox%27s-built-in-content-blocking - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18854015, 9 days ago
