Apples and oranges. PB is not ad blocker (doesn't use the same lists), made by a non profit to fight for a better web, comes with unique features.

Is this particular to Privacy Badger? Or is it just how it works on Android?


Sorry about the breakages!

Just FYI, you can always disable Privacy Badger on a particular site by using the "Disable for this site" button in PB's popup.

You can also help make PB better by using the "Report broken site" button in PB's popup.


Please don’t apologize; it’s the browser stack that’s broken not your tool. I’m 100% serious.


PB is different from other extensions and works well with ad blockers. If you like what PB does, feel free to keep using it.

What doesn't Privacy Badger cover? (Yes, Privacy Badger is not an ad blocker but it works well with ad blockers.)
