Summary

Privacy Butler is a predictive privacy tool. It learns from your input and automatically detects if you're releasing sensitive data on sites you've never visited before. Privacy Butler gives you the privacy protection you need, by disabling cookies and trackers with various degrees of stringency. If you need more privacy than Privacy Butler can provide, it gives you a notification to use a VPN. Privacy Butler is part of a research project at the University of Oxford.
