Privacy Badger

Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers.

What is Privacy Badger?

'Privacy Badger' is an Edge add-on designed for user privacy. It has an auto-learning mechanism to block invisible trackers that ignore 'Do Not Track' requests and opt you out of data sharing or selling. Beyond blocking, this add-on replaces potential useful trackers with click-to-activate placeholders and offers privacy protections against link click tracking on Facebook and Google. It further champions user needs by offering direct connections with extension devs for help and bug reporting.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers. Instead of keeping lists of what to block, Privacy Badger automatically discovers trackers based on their behavior.

Privacy Badger sends the Global Privacy Control signal (https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) to opt you out of data sharing and selling, and the Do Not Track signal (https://www.eff.org/issues/do-not-track) to tell companies not to track you. If trackers ignore your wishes, Privacy Badger will learn to block them.

Besides automatic tracker blocking, Privacy Badger replaces potentially useful trackers (video players, comments widgets, etc.) with click-to-activate placeholders, and removes outgoing link click tracking on Facebook and Google, with more privacy protections on the way.

Hands down one of the quintessential extensions you MUST install no matter what! This cuts out all that advertising BS you have skillfully learned to ignore, so you can focus on the content you really wanted to see. Bye bye clickbait advertising, and if something "breaks", then it's super easy to turn off for one site, or even adjust as necessary. No real skill required. The EFF is a super legit foundation at the forefront of internet security and privacy, so there's nothing to hesitate when thinking about installing an ad blocker, especially since it's so much more than that.

I hope all is well with you. I'm currently exploring avenues to enhance my business portfolio through strategic investments in Chrome extensions, and I've been particularly impressed with yours. I believe there's a tremendous opportunity for growth and would love to discuss the possibility of acquisition.
