by the_we3gee, 4 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 5 out of 5by ArbiterRegnant, 16 days agoThe reason I stopped using it is by NO means any fault of its own or even warranting anything lower than a 5-star review. I still love Privacy Badger and think it's an essential for almost everyone. But, I'm saying that you can get an even better effect by combining the DuckDuckGo Extension with Ghostly, making this partially redundant. If that ever fails me, however, I know exactly where to fall back to: here.

- Rated 5 out of 5by BBVibe, 24 days agoWay better then any other privacy tool out there by miles and im excited to see how it improves. This has been a big help with my job and blocking pesky ads well doing research. I also love that its a badger and the little icon!

- Rated 5 out of 5by MONARCH, 25 days agoI've been using this add-on since the last 2 months and honestly, it's been a lot of help to me. I used to get a lot of ads and sometimes the sites forcefully uses all their tracking cookies to give me ads. I saw it on recommendation and thought I'll just give a try but it blew up my mind! I can also choose if I can block a domain and even block cookies! Nice work

If you run into a site that seems to be broken in some way (a video won't play), try disabling Privacy Badger for that site first:
1. Visit the site with the problem
2. Click on PB's icon in Firefox's toolbar
3. Click the "Disable for this site" button
Disabling on a site keeps PB active and protecting you on all other sites. Also, if the site is still broken afterwards, it probably wasn't Privacy Badger's fault. - Rated 5 out of 5by SplatMcGeeJnr, a month agoVery good extension, it learns and automatically blocks cookies and trackers without taking up your screen, Strongly recommended!
