- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14736266, 5 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.Developer response

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

- Rated 4 out of 5by spurkl3z, 5 years agoi really like the addon and more so the devs' mentality with it, although id like easier managing of which domains you allow block cookies and block, theres a couple thousand of them and honestly i wish to at least block all cookies of every single one of them. but clicking each one individually isnt something im gonna spend my time on lol. other than that, good work!

posted 5 years agoHello and thank you!
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. The idea is to stop trackers from following you around the Web; being allowed to load once or twice should not be a big deal.
