by the_we3gee, 3 years agoThis 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Kirk, 3 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

- Rated 5 out of 5by FFReviewAccount, 14 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!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15324639, 18 days agoThis add-on is an essential one for me. I have been using it since it's earliest days, and with the amount of tracking going on, I need something that will keep the most egregious of companies from doing it anyway.
The best part? After using them for a long time, you (almost) forget how much it would annoy you. All those single pixel ads, instant playing video ads, and more, are history! - Rated 5 out of 5by ambergris, 21 days ago
