Hide/show Funimation video UI with 'z' and use PageUp/PageDown or ArrowUp/ArrowDown keys to seek 1 second back/forward Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers.
Full summary

The Funimation video UI does not hide itself when paused. This can be very inconvenient when you want to take screenshots of videos.

With this browser extension active, when watching a Funimation video, you can:

  • Press 'z' to hide the video UI
  • Use the up and down arrow keys (or the PgUp/PgDown keys) to seek back and forward in 1 second increments.

This is a new version adapted to the new Funimation player. The hide functionality can now find the elements to hide in the new player. The seek functionality has changed to prevent conflict with the native controls. The player now uses left and right arrow keys natively for 5 second searches, so I've moved 1 second searching to up/down or PgUp/PgDown keys.

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).
