Make a card that won't be forgotten Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers.
Full summary

Cards used to be personalized and fun to read. "Happy Birthday" messages on Facebook walls are impersonal and e-cards are boring.

Loupe Card lets you make a awesome cards for your friends and family that they will remember!

Draw something, add a picture, and send a card that is unique and shows that you care.

Features: ★ Draw right on the card ★ Get photos from Facebook, image search, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or any other website ★ Watch the replay to see how the card was made ★ See all the cards that you have made and received

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).
