Profile image creator Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers.
Full summary

Take photos with your webcam: mix and match combinations of filters to come up with your own unique effects. Webcam FX includes a large collection of filter combinations to help get you started.

Once you're happy with your image, you can save to your computer, or upload to Sketch.IO to share with your friends. Similarly, you can share your custom filters as well—this way your friends can use the same filter you made for their own pictures.

To enable editing, hover over the right side of the app—this will display the sidebar. Here you can: add filters, modify the values of each filter in the stack, reorganize which filter is processed first, enable/disable filters, or remove filters. Each of these controls can create vastly different effects.

Play around, share the results, and let us know what you think!

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).
