2022-11-09	michael chalk	Brilliant! I've been looking for a way to remove the ?fbclid garbage from the end of facebook external links. Works like a charm. (Haven't investigated further yet, but this is a great start, thank you.)

2022-10-16	M.Gökay	Reklam engelleyici kullanıyorsanız , bu eklentiyle beraber, her sitede değil ama bazı sitelerde ortaya çıkan "reklam engelleyicinizi kapatın" uyarısını almıyorum.

2022-09-28	Milk & Coffee	A great extension to enchance your privacy a bit more
2022-09-21	E. M.	Une référence en matière d'hygiène numérique ; Développée par l' EFF.org : l'extention 'Privacy Badger' incarne et prone les principes de défense de la liberté d'expression, de la confidentialité en ligne, du droit à la vie privée, tout en faisant promotion de l'innovation communautaire. L'Electronic Frontier Foundation est "La principale organisation à but non lucratif défendant la confidentialité numérique, la liberté d'expression et l'innovation".
2022-09-03	Ace Man2k	Reviews don't know what they are talking about, it breaks many website logins such as google login on Indeed.com and many other websites. Privacy Badger blocks stuff automatically but it is coded in such a way that it breaks many things not just Google stuff but other stuff as well that is needed to make certain functions on a website to run. It needs to be configured to know to not block font.gstatic and many other google trackers as it claims aswell. Unfortunately privacy badger has had this problem for over a year now if not 1+ years and has not been fixed so I would advice to use contentblockhelper extension as that does not block things by default but allows you to choose what to block and it finds every single possible thing on the webpage it even finds the type of font a webpage uses that you disable. What is nice is you can click the black + and then see what is under a certain category and then tap one of the green + of whatever you choose to disable, if you choose to renable what you blocked you then tap the red - to renabled it and then refresh the webpage. Last but not least it remembers all websites changes you made so you never have to redo what you have disabled and/or enabled. Privacy badger is such hot garbage and I would not be surprised if Google owns it and is also making fake reviews on here with 5 stars. Word to the wise: Don't believe many reviews nowadays as most of them are fake including responses from people stating what you wrote isn't true or critiquing you about why you would think that and so forth, I believe these to either be bots or people who are not Knowledgeable about extensions, but not me I know what works and what doesn't by using it, I don't trust people anymore as most of are defiantly lying or they are a bot.
2022-09-02	Matt Sauve	DOES IT WRK FOR PORNHUB..ASKING FOR A FRIEND HAA
2022-08-30	Brian Nielsen	Wow, it actually works. And it works good. It will keep tap of tracking cookies and block them if it finds the same cookie on 3 sites you visit. You still need uBlock Origin to block ads, and you still need audio, canvas and font fingerprinting extensions installed if you hope to stay a little private on the web. A nice vpn like Mullvad is probably not too shabby either.
2022-07-23	HSTG STM	Privacy Badger verbessert die Privatsphärer extrem und mach den Broswer auch deutlich viel Schneller. Privacy Badger macht auch den Brave Broswer noch viel Sicherer und noch viel Schneller.
2022-06-26	Ian	I just installed on chrome but have been using on Microsoft Edge for a year. I like it because it is seamless and does not popup or bother me while I am browsing. It is effective and learns from what you do so the more you browse the more privacy you get!
2022-05-02	A Wiebe	This would be great if it worked. Unfortunately, it's been breaking a LOT of sites for me in the past few months. I'm talking like work websites or donation pools. That kind of thing. I'm leaving this review before deleting the extension.
2022-04-24	Лев	он блокирует даже сервисы гугла и из за этого невозможно становится зайти в свой аккаунт гугл
2022-04-22	Oliver Jensen	Kan anbefales til Lite-brugere.
2022-03-06	Alexandte RFST	Some websites clearly bug because of this extension. But very good to protect our privacy.
2022-02-23	Kertas Daur Ulang Boyolali	Mantab, Cuma Masih Terdeteksi Adblock Killer Arc io dll
2022-02-19	Israel	Just wanted to know, will Privacy Badger be affected by Manifest v3? Seeing as it doesn't rely on filter lists but rather learning by itself, it don't think so
2022-01-29	John Quers	The extension has very good potential and hope it improves over time. But here are some suggestions for improvement. 1. Turning on by default the "Send websites the "Global Privacy Control" and "Do Not Track" signals" makes it so easy for a website to fingerprint you in the future because most people do not use this function unless they have Privacy Badger installed. Turning this off makes you more unique to websites compared to having it on as unique person. Sending these signals to a website records your IP address to them which adds another fingerprint identifier to them to track you. I highly recommend to keep this turned off by default. 2. More websites are heading towards fingerprinting instead of using cookies to track you, I noticed some sites capture data like the version of the browser you are using and your screen resolution which really is a huge privacy concern and hope you can block fingerprinter's in the future that capture info about your browser and system info to websites. Some sites are now using sophisticated fingerprinting scripts to even see the names and amount of addon's you are using. So if a website uses a fingerprint script to see what addon's you are using and see you are using "Privacy Badger" it's another identifier they have on you. Another great function in future versions would be to spoof referrer headers since lot's of website are now tracking you based on the referrer headers from website you came from, another great function would be a function to clear up tracking URLS, lot's of sites add garbage tags like UTM and hashes as a way to track you. Keep improving Privacy Badger and hope one day it will be powerful, just be careful as fingerprinters are becoming very sophisticated and capturing lot's of data about your browser.
