Privacy Badger is a browser add-on for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at on the web.

Description

If an advertiser seems to be tracking you across multiple websites without your permission, Privacy Badger automatically blocks that advertiser from loading any more content in your browser. To the advertiser, it's like you suddenly disappeared.[2]
