Privacy Badger version 2026.2.20 improves tracker blocking in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers.

Before this update, Privacy Badger sometimes failed to block domains that should have been blocked, and blocked domains that should have been ignored. This was caused by a long-known limitation of Google's Manifest V3, recently fixed by an outside contributor. [*]

Using an older version of Firefox?

Apparently, ALL add-ons will stop working on Firefox versions older than 128 (or older than ESR 115.13+) on March 14th, in just a few days from now.

To keep using your add-ons including Privacy Badger, you will need to update Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration

Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration | Mozilla Support

Update to Firefox 128+ by March 14, 2025, to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM media and essential features due to an expiring root certificate.
