Bundle a list of known trackers #1333
Comments
Please use ublock origin. Privacy Badger differentiates itself by using heuristics instead of whitelists and blacklists. The reason we want to avoid lists is because access to the list becomes increasingly valuable as the number of users grow. This creates a conflict of interest between us and our users. Also, as you can see, there are other extensions that already do this very well. I think the actionable items here are:
I'd like to close this as 'wontfix' and create a seperate issue with the two items above, but I'll cc @ghostwords for a 2nd opinion |
These probably be good to have in the FAQ. This is related to emphasizing why badger doesn't block stuff immediately, issue #1374 |
I started a more technically-oriented FAQ on the wiki: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/wiki. |
While we shouldn't ever get in the business of compiling lists of things for Badger to block, I think there is space for us to provide some sort of community learning features down the road. People could opt in to share their Badger's learning, which would then get auto-aggregated and loaded by new Badgers. I guess let's close this one and subscribe to #1299 instead. |
There are some sites that we know for sure 100% are always tracking users. I think privacy badger should be shipped with a list of these trackers. or if you don't want to make it the default (which I think should be, anyways)... having a button in the settings where I can download and import known trackers would be dope!
