by Tyrand, 2 years agoWhy do you allow some ad/metrics sites to store cookies just because they "promise not to track" me?

Generally speaking, domains that declare compliance with EFF's Do Not Track policy (https://www.eff.org/dnt-policy) are not supposed to engage in tracking. It's possible the cookies you noticed are compliant but it's also possible that you noticed somebody breaking their promise.
We could look into what's going on here if you email us at extension-devs@eff.org with information about what these domains are and where you noticed them.

While donations are appreciated, Privacy Badger will stay free and working for people, not profit. Thank you for using Privacy Badger! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18545512, 10 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Just-itz, 11 days agoThis is the first extension I download with a new Firefox installation. In the settings menu, select "learn to block new trackers", then "show domains that don't appear to be tracking you", and go to websites that are known to have heavy advertisements, then start manually "training" the extension.
I also use this extension, with additional dedicated ad blocker, when setting up devices for older folks and friends who aren't super tech savvy. You can "set it and forget it" easily, and when configured properly it doesn't interfere with regular browsing. It blocks a lot of malicious advertising / phishing attempts before they happen. I find good ad-blocking protection to be more effective than running AV software as a first line defense. You can't click a malicious link if you don't see it. It doesn't replace anti-virus / anti-malware, but augments it very well.
Privacy Badger by EFF is by far the best Firefox extension, and it comes from a trusted organization that's legitimately dedicated to privacy. I would give the extension 10 stars if I could. - Rated 4 out of 5by Ian Porter, 11 days ago

Whenever PB breaks something, you can help fix the problem for everybody by using the "Report broken site" button in PB's popup.
