Privacy Badger 1.0 – New Ways to Stop Sneaky Trackers
EFF is excited to announce that today we are releasing version 1.0 ofPrivacy Badger for Chrome and Firefox. Privacy Badger is a browser
extension that automatically blocks hidden trackers that would otherwise
spy on your browsing habits as you surf the Web.
More than a quarter of million users have already installed the alpha
and beta releases of Privacy Badger. The new Privacy Badger 1.0 release
includes many improvements, including being able to detect certain
kinds of super-cookies and browser fingerprinting—some of the more
subtle and problematic methods that the online tracking industry employs
to follow Internet users from site to site. Other enhancements in
Privacy Badger 1.0 include: significant UI improvements, translation
into 4 different languages (with more on the way), easier customization
of your Privacy Badger settings, improvements to stability, and support
for Version 1.0 of EFF’s recently announced Do Not Track Policy.
