Short description
Provide simple formatting assistance for Google+. Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers.
Full summary

Post Editor for Google+ adds formatting buttons to the bottom of the post box so you can easily style your posts. It also includes a variety of symbols that you can automatically inject into your post.

NOTE: This extension only works with the old style Google+ and does not (yet) work with the latest layout changes. I may at some point update it to do so but only once Google has finalized the changes in direction they've been making.

v1.2.1 Has some tightened up code and should now work from your profile page. Users who experienced the page refreshing to a blank page when trying to use the buttons from their profile/page should be good to go now.

  • If you do not immediately see the Post Editor give it a couple of seconds. The Google+ elements that Post Editor attaches to has to be present on the page before it can display. If it still doesn't display hit the cancel button and try to share again.

  • Some users are reporting conflicts if you have other Google+ specific extensions installed (particularly Replies and more for Google+).

  • Please don't just down vote; submit feedback or hit the feedback link (on the details tab) and I'll do my best to help resolve the issue.

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 to opt you out of data sharing and selling, and the Do Not Track signal 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.

*** Why does Privacy Badger need to read and change all my data on the websites I visit? ***

When you install Privacy Badger, your browser warns that Privacy Badger can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit”. You are right to be alarmed. You should only install extensions made by organizations you trust.

Privacy Badger requires these permissions to do its job of automatically detecting and blocking trackers on all websites you visit. We are not ironically (or unironically) spying on you. For more information, see our Privacy Badger extension permissions explainer: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/blob/master/doc/permissions.md

Note that the extension permissions warnings only cover what the extension has access to, not what the extension actually does with what it has access to (such as whether the extension secretly uploads your browsing data to its servers). Privacy Badger will never share data about your browsing unless you choose to share it (by filing a broken site report).
