Rated 5 out of 5
by Butterball, 7 years agoMakes the web seem much safer. Keeps spam from happening related to a visited page. For example when I checked a Bank's interest rate, the next day I would get emails offering differing interest offers from other banks. I had to make multiple rules every day, must have 50 or more such rules. Takes Thunderbird 5 minutes to delete those email during which the program is not responsive Yes, need a new address, but have many interests, takes forever to go to the sites, change that email address

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, 4 days ago
