Privacy Badger for Chrome Review by
4.0/5

There’s no denying advertising has become more aggressive, and marketers are continuously trying to get information on the profile of users whom they could turn into customers - sometimes without their permission.

This is possible due to all sorts of trackers most of the times users are not even aware of and that are integrated into the websites they are visiting. Fortunately, there are ways of lifting the curtain on the entire matter, what with the emergence of applications that can spot and disable all these trackers at a mouse click, as is the case of Privacy Badger for Chrome.

Being an extension specifically aimed at Chrome users, Privacy Badger would not bother you with intricate setup or anything of the sort. You simply need to install it and click its icon in the toolbar in order to be able to take a look at any suspicious element that might be collecting data on you without your permission.

All the trackers on a page are listed in the extension’s popup window, and each comes with an associated slider you can use to make some modifications. As such, you can allow or block a specific domain as well as disable cookies, depending on your needs.

Nevertheless, you may want to know that Privacy Badger for Chrome is capable of making a decision on its own as to which trackers should be disabled, and only if you spot anything weird should you make further adjustments.

Aside from that, it is worth pointing out that disabling the browser addon altogether for a website you are visiting is an option in case you trust it or simply don’t mind it gathering info about you.

All these considered, Privacy Badger for Chrome is a nifty tool you could employ in order to check whether the websites you are visiting are safe. The addon can spot any hidden trackers and disable dangerous ones automatically so that complete privacy is ensured.
