EFF Releases Privacy Badger To Try To Stop Online Tracking
Privacy Badger for Chrome and Firefox attempts to block domains that are secretly tracking your movements online, either for ads or other reasons.
Privacy Badger works by, "[looking] at any third party domains that are loaded on a given site and determines whether or not they appear to be tracking you (e.g. by setting cookies that could be used for tracking, or fingerprinting your browser). If the same third party domain appears to be tracking you on three or more different websites, Privacy Badger will conclude that the third party domain is a tracker and block future connections to it."
Those wishing to learn more about this Privacy Badger web-browser plug-in can do so at EFF.org.
