What is Privacy Badger?

Privacy Badger is a free, open-source browser extension from the Electronic Frontier Foundation that automatically learns to block invisible trackers. Instead of relying on block lists, it watches which third parties follow you across sites and stops them, and it also sends Global Privacy Control signals.

Pros

  • Works automatically
  • Made by a respected non-profit
  • No ads or tracking

Cons

  • Not a full ad blocker
  • Can occasionally break site features

Who should use Privacy Badger

Anyone who wants less tracking without fiddling with settings.

Who may not need it

People already running a strict content blocker.
