Privacy Badger

I had to disable it. It was messing with other extensions, breaking them up. i.e: Alternate Player for Twitch.tv. Disabling this extension helped me.

Hello! This is due to a bug in Chrome that should be fixed in the next couple of months. Until then, there are workarounds. In this case, you can open Privacy Badger's options page, select the Tracking Domains tab, search for "twitch", and move the toggle for twitch.tv to green. To get help in the future, email extension-devs@eff.org

I don’t find this extension useful. It still lets a lot of cookies through, especially from main stream media sites. I gave it a try because of all the recent hype around Privacy Badger (lots of clickbait which was a red flag). The annoying "accept all cookie" banners are still there, unlike with other privacy extensions. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are affiliate schemes pushing this extension because there has been a recent surge in its promotion. Uninstalled.

Privacy Badger is made by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization that fights for your rights online. To learn more, visit eff.org. I don't know what you mean by "lets a lot of cookies through", or "clickbait", or "affiliate schemes". I would like to help, but the reviews page is not the right place.

Seems alright, but why do I need Privacy Badger and Sandbox protection when I can use Adblock or uBlock? Both do a lot more than block ads. They also block tracking and a lot of annoyances, although Adguard is more effective than uBlock. Additionally, this extension is a memory hog. It has a 134 MB memory footprint. It also slows me down. It would be halpful if the developer would educate us/me why we should use this extension? I'll pass this info on...

Had to disable this thing. I was trying to save photos from my google pictures to my hard drive. Was going crazy. Getting an error message, Your organization has blocked this download. This thing kept blocking these saves and would not allow.

This sounds like a bug in Chrome that we need to discover a fix or a workaround for. In the meantime, it should help to disable Privacy Badger on the site with the problem. To do so, visit the Google Photos site, click on Privacy Badger's icon in your browser toolbar, and then click on the "Disable for this site" button.

This is a bug in Chrome that may get fixed by Chrome version 128. If you email extension-devs@eff.org and ask for help with a specific extension, we would be happy to help you. The reviews page is not the right place to get help.

i have used some extensions by EFF for at least 3 years now, i have never, EVER, seen or noticed any bugs.

what about this : The extension failed to load properly. It might not be able to intercept network request? Version 2024.6.14

This sounds like a Chrome bug that was fixed in the latest versions of Chrome. Visit chrome://extensions and then try toggling Privacy Badger off and then back on. If that doesn't help, uninstalling and then reinstalling should do it. To get help in the future, email extension-devs@eff.org

Badger replaced by Spotify widget when streaming from a third party link. How do I disable that feature?

Thank You EFF Has run perfect for years! Privacy Badger is the best thing to come out for users since DOS was the OS of choice. In fact, DOS was the only choice. With all of Hacker nonsense floating in the cloud we all owe a huge debt to the Electronic Freedom Foundation for all they have done and continue to do. If you're not aware of who & what the EFF is & does, I strongly urge you to do a little research. You'll be glad you did. Start - eff.org Once you look into the EFF You also w... Show more
