Description

Privacy Badger is an open-source privacy app developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). It is a browser add-on for Chrome and Firefox that helps protect users from online tracking and surveillance by blocking third-party trackers from collecting data about them. It works by automatically analyzing a website’s tracking activities and then blocking any trackers it finds. It also allows users to customize their own tracking preferences, such as allowing some trackers for some sites, and blocking others for other sites. Additionally, it provides a “shield” icon that allows users to quickly turn off all trackers on a site. Privacy Badger is designed to be easy to understand and use, and is constantly updated to keep up with the latest tracking technologies.
