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.

Privacy Badger Puts You in Control of Widgets

The latest version of Privacy Badger replaces embedded tweets with click-to-activate placeholders. This is part of Privacy Badger's widget replacement feature, where certain potentially useful widgets are blocked and then replaced with placeholders. This protects privacy by default while letting you restore the original widget whenever you want it or need it for the page to function.

neat.computer, neat.tube and pxlfd.plus are now blocked by grapheneos.social due to the admin engaging in extreme harassment for multiple years. neat.chat and aragon.sh have been blocked from our Matrix chat rooms.

Same person hosts mstdn.plus and mstdn.party instances which are going to be blocked after providing time for our followers to migrate instances. We'll be sending out a direct message to our followers there.

The admin wouldn't stop engaging in harassment and was caught ban evading.

I won't just be voting tomorrow, I will also be serving from 5 a.m. until about 9 p.m. as a poll worker in Arlington. This will be the seventh time I've done that job, which might not be something I would have imagined in early 2020 when I decided to follow the advice of @mattblaze -- you want to learn more about election security, be a poll worker. I guess civic work can be habit-forming.

Election Day is tomorrow, and here in Virginia it's not just the local races that help shape your neighborhood, police, schools and more. Every seat in the General Assembly is on the ballot here, which in turn means voters decide if Gov. Youngkin gets boosted by Republican majorities in the Senate and House of Delegates or gets blocked by Democratic majorities in one or both chambers.

If you need more of a pep talk, please consult this short essay I wrote in 2012. https://robpegoraro.com/2012/11/05/why-we-vote/

Why we vote

Because you want your candidate to win. Because you want the other candidate to lose. Because you can express your distaste for everybody on the ballot by writing in somebody else. Even yourself. B…
