This is quite unfortunate news but not surprising. This effectively turns Privacy Badger for the majority of users into another block list.<p>Fingerprinting vs ad tracking protection has been an ongoing war. The natural escalation to tracking protection is to fingerprint even harder. I'd expect most power users who like to configure their extensions and blocking lists to be suprised how much information thst provides to differentiate them. Even without that browsers by default share a lot of information with every website (<a href="https://panopticlick.eff.org/" rel="nofollow">https://panopticlick.eff.org/</a>).<p>I don't see a good ending to this war. Solutions like Firefox containers requires you to be extremely thoughtful in your site usage and don't protect from more advanced fingerprinting techniques (that for example cloudflare employs). The web is fundimentally a little broken here.
What is the recommended cocktail of extensions to use these days for optimal privacy? I have so much to think about that I haven't had a chance to dig in and learn what's best.
Can DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials be an alternative to Privacy Badger? Once I replaced Privace Badger by it, because Privacy Badger had conflicts with some sites I read often. But I'm not sure if its's an optimal alternative.
Does anyone have a good example of a site plastered with ads that still renders with privacy badger? I want a go-to screenshot to link to for my rants any time a website tells me to disable my "ad blocker"
Didn't I just read somewhere on slashdot or hacker news that privacy badger logs all of your websites you visit and websites that you enable/disable certain cookies or javascript?
