Privacy Badger blockiert Trackers sehr gut. Mithilfe von Edge Chromium können noch Ad-Trackers blockiert werden! Die Webseiten und deren Strukturen werden nicht beeinträchtigt. Die Web- Farben bleiben lebendig. Die lästigen Werbungen werden teilweise sehr gut blockiert. Es gibt keine Komplikationen mit "Edge-Cromium". Ich hoffe es, dass zu Privacy Badger in Zukunft anderen Funktionen hinzugefügt wird.
