Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 17869841, a year agoThis add-on use to *almost* be all you needed for privacy/ad blocking. It was a primary go-to to confirm which sites to block with my other blocker technologies. It now seems so "dumbed down" that I am going to disabled it across all my device. I just don't see it taking a stand and blocking. All kinds of sites that clearly provide beacons, ads, etc. (as evident right from the site name! or that use to be blocked!) "don't appear" to be tracking or "we haven't made up our minds", or what ever other wimp-out lawyer speak is used now. Toughen up. Or get out of the race.

posted a year agoIt sounds like you think Privacy Badger isn't learning to block some domains that you think it ought to learn to block. To get help or to report bugs, please email extension-devs@eff.org

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gil, 3 days agoSo far, so good. I'm using it together with the VPN: " SurfShark " and besides SurfShark's antivirus, another one too: "ESET" They work together well. I requested from an AI to help me, to improve my privacy, and protect me from malware, spyware, adware and hackers. I tried to implement all the advice, that I could. The AI even helped me to harden Firefox by both adding various add-ons, as well as setting it up properly. Similar advice, and instructions I received for my iPhone 13 also.

- Rated 5 out of 5by gotn, 21 days agoA great way to prevent my data from sitting on a random server somewhere. I wish I knew about this sooner before Tech companies already knew everything about me. Still, this is a step in the right direction.
The team is awesome and thanks for developing a great product! - Rated 5 out of 5by Amisca, 24 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19808886, 25 days agoIf thish doesn't deserves all the stars we have then I dont know what I does. Thank you for protecting us from dirty shellfish and horrible tech's from tracking and selling and who knows what they are gonna do it. But its possible to use for war? Lets be honest we dont know what is it will be done with those data. I mean we dont know where how when etc. Sorry for my terrible English.
