About Privacy Badger
Privacy Badger watches which third parties appear to track you across several sites and blocks or strips cookies from them, rather than relying only on a hand-maintained block list. It also removes link-tracking parameters and respects the Global Privacy Control signal.
Strengths
- Blocks trackers it observes behaving badly, not only ones on a list
- Made by the EFF, with no monetisation attached
Limitations
- Not an ad blocker; ads that do not track are left alone
- Learning-based blocking can miss trackers that appear on only one site
