This works very well in Firefox. A couple of observations, though. I'd like a Pause/Resume functionality. When I want to use Rakuten Cash Back shopping, for example, I'd like to pause privacy for a short session, then resume, rather than having to disable this extension in Firefox Add-ons. Ghostery and MalwareBytes have pause functionality. For the Oxford Dictionary extension pop-up, adding "lexico.com" won't work to allow it. The entry has to be "*.lexico.com". My other privacy extensions work with "lexico.com".

It's generally a bad idea to customize Tor Browser. Please see https://support.torproject.org/faq/faq-3/ for more information.

As default, Privacy Badger allows more than 1000 tracking domains. Why? So I do not use it!

Unlike most other privacy tools, Privacy Badger automatically learns what to block over time.

We pre-train Privacy Badger for you so that it already knows about many popular trackers when you first install it. (Visit https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/08/giving-privacy-badger-jump-start to learn more.) But the database isn't fixed: Privacy Badger learns from your browsing.

To get answers to Privacy Badger questions, visit our FAQ (https://www.eff.org/privacybadger/faq), check out our GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/issues, or simply email extension-devs@eff.org

Edit: To clarify, Privacy Badger starts blocking a domain once it sees that domain perform tracking on three different websites. The idea is to avoid blocking too much, while still protecting your privacy across the Web.

Along with uBlock Origin and Decentraleys, works best.
