Blocks hidden trackers as it learns to automatically identify and block them, helping you stay private online while browsing freely. Made by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Privacy Badger brings a powerful tool for digital rights protection to your browser, benefiting anyone concerned about online surveillance and data tracking. By integrating EFF's expertise in digital rights with Chrome's capabilities, Privacy Badger lets you surf the web without companies spying on you.

Overview

Privacy Badger sends the Global Privacy Control signal (https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) to opt you out of data sharing and selling, and the Do Not Track signal (https://www.eff.org/issues/do-not-track) to tell companies not to track you. If trackers ignore these signals, Privacy Badger will learn to block them.

Besides automatic tracker blocking, Privacy Badger replaces potentially useful trackers (video players, comments widgets, etc.) with click-to-activate placeholders, and removes outgoing link click tracking on Facebook and Google, with more privacy protections on the way.
