- Rated 5 out of 5This 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".

posted 2 months agoIt's generally a bad idea to customize Tor Browser. Please see https://support.torproject.org/faq/faq-3/ for more information. - Rated 1 out of 5As default, Privacy Badger allows more than 1000 tracking domains. Why? So I do not use it!

posted 2 months agoUnlike 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.

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. - Rated 5 out of 5Along with uBlock Origin and Decentraleys, works best.
- Rated 5 out of 5Love this addon. I use it everyday, fantastically designed, fluid and easy to use.
