Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 14736266, 7 years agoDetects and blocks trackers just as described. The issues are in the control page. The list for managing tracked URLs is unnavigable. It's so small that it takes ages to load them all in once you've accrued a lot (which you will because it's the internet). Then once you start editing them the list refreshes. Every time. This needs a serious overhaul, just for basic use.
I won't rate it any lower because the functionality is definitely good, but I can't go higher because of the UI.

Generally speaking, I suggest leaving the sliders alone and letting Privacy Badger do its job automatically. Privacy Badger learns to block a domain once it sees that domain track you on three different websites. See our FAQ for more information: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger/faq
