The irony of going to the "Data Broker Opt-out" page for the identity protection that work provides, only to see that @privacybadger has blocked six trackers...

@TehPenguin Feels wrong to just “favorite” this post. Companies need a wakeup call; the laissez faire approach to tracking is unacceptable. I am glad Privacy Badger is helping reveal the problem though.

Did you know Privacy Badger replaces embedded tweets, video/audio players, and comments sections with "click to activate" placeholders?

Although potentially useful, these "widgets" often track your browsing. The tracking happens regardless of whether you interact with the widget. If you see a widget, the widget sees you back.

Privacy Badger blocks the widgets to protect your privacy, and replaces them with placeholders to put you in control.
