Would you like to help us test Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS? You'll need Safari 26 and Apple's TestFlight app.

If this sounds good, please send an email to extension-devs at eff.org and we'll send you an invite when the build is ready.

@wragge Sorry about that, should be fixed by sometime tomorrow.

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. [*]

@thog @eff The linked post is from 2016. Much has changed since then. For a still current overview, see https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/10/privacy-badger-learns-block-ever-more-trackers
Introducing Badger Swarm: New Project Helps Privacy Badger Block Ever More Trackers

Today we are introducing Badger Swarm, a new tool for Privacy Badger that runs distributed Badger Sett scans in the cloud. Badger Swarm helps us continue updating and growing Privacy Badger’s tracker knowledge, as well as continue adding new ways of catching trackers. Thanks to continually expanding Badger Swarm-powered training, Privacy Badger comes packed with its largest blocklist yet.

@cryptgoat @kubikpixel @ublockorigin Privacy Badger is not an ad blocker, does not use ad blocker lists, comes with own special features like automatic tweet replacement, fights for a better web via Global Privacy Control and DNT, made by a non-profit ... PB works well by itself and works well with an ad blocker.

@lorenzoquintavalle @eff Privacy Badger is different: not an ad blocker (does not use ad blocker lists), comes with own special features (widget replacement), made by a non-profit, fights for a better web.

@StudioCohort @eff PB is focused on stopping pervasive, non-consensual tracking, not ads. PB doesn't use ad blocker lists and comes with its own special features like replacing tweets with click-to-activate placeholders. PB works well in combination with ad blockers.

@GjLeDZQW @eff On privacybadger.org ? We don't have an icon for Brave, but Brave supports installing Chrome extensions from Chrome Web Store. (I don't think Brave for Android supports extensions.)

@mossyrua @eff We are working on a version of Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS. It’s not a straightforward port because of bugs and divergences in behavior from Firefox and Chrome.

Unfortunately, Safari for iOS is more challenging to support still. We will look into it after we finish with Safari for macOS.

In the meantime, I suggest installing a reputable "content blocker" for iOS Safari.

@Gillinger @eff Which browser do you use? If you use Safari, we are working on a version of Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS. It’s not a straightforward port because of bugs and divergences in behavior from Firefox and Chrome.
