Cookieblock all not-yet-blocked trackers (change below-threshold/most permissive state from "green" to "yellow") #1514

@paoletto to elaborate a little on why this is hard, Privacy Badger uses a heuristic to determine if something is a tracker. Sometimes this heuristic is incorrect, so we require that the tracker trigger the heuristic 3 times before marking it red or yellow. If we blocked all "potential trackers" we would probably block many sites incorrectly. |
The point of my request is that sometimes the users (like me) are ok with only allowing 2 states for the heuristic: yellow and red. Meaning that by default nothing is green. |
Reopening as per #1011 (comment). We should investigate at some point to see how much extra breakage this would cause if we were to do this for all Privacy Badger users. I don't think it makes sense to implement this as an optional feature, however. |
I personally find odd that this request hasn't been implemented yet (= someone pushing not to).
Anyway, I request, again, to be allowed to chose what is the most permissive mode i want privacy badger to use automatically.
E.g., if i set it to yellow, privacy badger should be only allowed to automatically set a tracker to yellow or red.
If i want a specific tracker to be green, i can do it manually.
I think it's not a big deal to add this feature, so i hope to see it in relatively soon.
Thank you.
