Privacy Badger Works To Protect Us From Online Tracking

Privacy Badger to Block Track and Trace

Privacy Badger is an extension that blocks online spying and protects  you from being tracked. It does not assist any third party, and it stops the monitoring of your activities over the internet. Therefore, it vigilantly deters the ads and trackers from any non-consensual tracking. Although DisconnectAdBlock Plus, Ghostery, and other blocking extensions are considered the best. Yet they are insufficient to do what you actually want. For they need technical settings or configuration. So, Privacy Badger has been introduced by Electronic Frontier Foundation. It simply requires an algorithmic code, and it remarkably hinders all the intrusions that are loaded when you browse the web.

Features of Privacy Badger

Electronic Frontier Foundation has endeavoured hard to launch this Browser Add-on. They have developed the rigorous algorithms and policy methods to impede the tracking of your confidential data.
  • Ads Blocking
Privacy Badger does not block ads. But it blocks the trackers that appear on your web page in the form of scripts, Ads, widgets and images. And they tactically track your private and secret information. Therefore, it blocks only those Ads that commit this unauthorized conduct.
  • Protection Against the Third Parties
Privacy Badger sends Do Not Track header to the cookies of the third parties. And it monitors the likelihood of the tracking. If the probability of the tracking is too high. Your request will promptly be blocked to protect you from this vulnerability.

How to use Privacy badger

Open any website and click the icon of Privacy Badger. It displays a list of all the websites or trackers. And it detects which one is involved in tracking and spying. The domains that are enlisted exist in the form of widgets, ads, images, and scripts on the specific web page.  And they are involved in non-consensual tracking. So, you can move these sliders to allow or block the trackers on your web page.privacy-badger-reports
Privacy badger has three states.
  1. Red state means the particular tracker is blocked
  2. Yellow means request has been sent to the cookies to stop tracking.
  3. Green means this website is safe and secure it is not trying to spy you.

Conclusion

To conclude, I can say that Privacy Badger is a panacea to all the problems regarding spying and tracking. It blocks all the illegal companies that want to get your confidential information, and they exploit it for an illegal purpose. So, don't waste your time install it on your Chrome and Firefox to block unwanted access to your personal data.
