| Full summary | |
** new - you can now customise the block page with your own url; either local file, or http url! Find yourself getting easily distracted while completing tasks on the web? Procrastinator allows you to block websites you consider distracting to ensure you stay focused on your task. Procrastinator is designed to quickly add the websites you deem a distraction, and it does the rest. You also control when the websites are blocked with a simple timespan. This chrome extension will allow you to stay focused, and block yourself from distractions whilst you work. Procrastinator gives you the control of which specific websites, or a sub-set of websites using it's simple pattern matching techniques. Or if you're a power user, you can use regular expressions to fine tune which url's are blocked. Once you have defined your list of sites you want to block, you can also individually control the blocker for each website, or use a general time span to control all of the blocked websites. |
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.

If you have a GitHub account, you can use our GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/issues *** 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).
