If you're not already using the Privacy Badger extension with your browser, you could always start now.

New Privacy Badger Prevents Google From Mangling More of Your Links and Invading Your Privacy

We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.

@evacide It doesn't seem to work on www.mastodeck.com. When I load the page, Privacy Badger doesn't report even a single tracker. There must be a problem or Mastodon doesn't, in fact, load any trackers.

warning: Poe's Law in effect.

@evacide is it my imagination that this was deprecated a few years ago?

@mrthomnas @evacide are you thinking about HTTPS Everywhere?

For Privacy Badger, the dynamic learning was disabled because it was leaking data to websites, so it's now only a static block list; same as Firefox's static block list. So meh

@juliank @evacide whoops I definitely am and had those two merged in my head. Currently I’m using only uBO

@mrthomnas @evacide I believe it was EFF’s HTTPS Everywhere extension that was deprecated, because that functionality is now built into most modern browsers

@evacide What's the difference between privacy Badger and Enhanced Tracking Protection on Firefox?
Show threadNotthesmartestguySep 29, 2023
@evacide I know that not everybody can, or wants to, migrate to Firefox. But every day brings us further from privacy

@evacide

Add uBlockOrigin for extra cleanup.

The combination works well.

go a step farther with these, too!
(5 years ago, everybody seemed to think I was paranoid: vindication feels empty though, as privacy in the USA is almost a thing of the past).

@rexi @evacide You no longer need HTTPS Everywhere. The functionality is now built-in to Firefox.

@evacide Privacy Badger is one of the first extensions I install any time I have to do an OS reinstall. I also put it on any PC belonging to family that I have to work on. Y'all did an amazing thing with that tool.
