- by Sans Undertale, 5 days agoRated 3 out of 5The main gimmick of "Learning" to block trackers has been disabled by default by the EFF themselves because of heightened risk of fingerprinting. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/10/privacy-badger-changing-protect-you-better
It still works, but if you use Ublock or any normal ad/tracker blocker (like DDG or Ghostery) then there's no need to use this.Developer response
posted 5 days agoWhile there is overlap between list-based blockers' and Privacy Badger’s protections, unlike list-based blockers, Privacy Badger automatically discovers trackers. This means your Privacy Badger can learn to block tracking that list-based blockers don’t know about.
This automatic learning happens prior to every Privacy Badger update (https://www.eff.org/badger-pretraining).
You can also choose to enable local learning with a single click by visiting Privacy Badger's options page. Users in geographic regions poorly covered by list-based blockers (for example) may want to enable Privacy Badger's local learning.
Besides automatic tracker blocking, Privacy Badger comes with privacy features like click-to-activate replacements for potentially useful trackers (video players, comments widgets, etc.), and link cleaning on Facebook and Google.

- by Bosko Laska, 6 days agoRated 5 out of 5This is really good because i don't wanna be spyed by hidden trackers. I use the sliders so i can block all trackers. I needed this so i can make private browsing private. Of course, with other add ons like Ublock Origin, Bitdefender Traffic Light, Universal Bypass, AdBlocker Ultimate and your other add on HTTPS:// Everywhere. But still, PERFECTO
