Give web assholes the finger they so richly deserve
9 years agoPrivacy Badger (currently in beta-- https://www.eff.org/privacybadger ) is another great way to tell advertisers and trackers to fuck the hell off (including those on this very site, Fur Affinity, where currently, just viewing someone's gallery cues up at least 2 trackers which PB handily blocks).
PB works with Chrome, Firefox and others are planned and is easy to setup and use on both. If like myself, you'd like advertisers to die a slow, painful death by fire and currently use Adblock Plus, Noscript, Ghostery and other blocking/anti-bullshit measures, I would recommend giving Privacy Badger a try. Plus, it has a cute, manic-looking badger logo that looks like a character from the Simpsons with its smug grin. Adorable. =3
I find it interesting to see just how many trackers PB blocks at any given site and get a barometer of just how much shenanigans any given page has when I am there. The other thing to like about this browser strap-on is that it doesn't just work with sites that actually comply with Do Not Track settings and requests but sticks it to those fuckers who simply ignore those requests and track you anyway. Lastly, PB doesn't have any of the unsavory arrangements held by some of the aforementioned solutions above which may involve exceptions and other crap where they allow some assholes to track via unspoken agreements between the trackers and blockers.
With sneaky under-handed tracking that tries its best to hide, doesn't ask permission and does whatever it pleases with your information, up to and including selling it to others for profit, I think we owe it to them to let them know that one day they may just have to earn an honest living instead of clandestinely making people unwilling and unwitting profit generators and looking for new ways to make the internet suck. Change your business model assholes!
