What does "takes too much privacy" mean?

If you are referring to extension permissions, Privacy Badger requires its extension permissions to do the job of automatically detecting and blocking trackers on all websites you visit. We are not ironically (or unironically) spying on you. Privacy Badger will never share data about your browsing unless you choose to share it (such as by filing a broken site report).

For more information, see our Privacy Badger extension permissions explainer at https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/blob/master/doc/permissions.md
