  Privacy Badger is a browser extension that automatically learns to block invisible trackers.

  

Hi, Privacy Badger dev here. Here are a couple of links to answers to start:

- https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/discussions/2786#dis...

• user.js

  682 9,132 6.8 JavaScript

  Firefox privacy, security and anti-tracking: a comprehensive user.js template for configuration and hardening

  

Maybe not for just "regular joe" but Arkenfox maintains a good list of extensions to use for privacy, and more importantly, which ones really don't add that much with recent Firefox updates:

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• jQuery

  166 58,890 8.5 JavaScript

  jQuery JavaScript Library

  

The libs need to be manually maintained. Literally the first one I looked at, jQuery (https://git.synz.io/Synzvato/decentraleyes/-/tree/master/res...), and we can take a look over at NPM (https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery) and see the latest version, 3.6.0, was released on 2021-03-02 and is still not shipped with Decentraleyes.

This add-on shaped the privacy-positive landscape for browsers upon it's release, but the features have be made obsolete with the latest browser isolation and that most entities have migrated to bundled JavaScript and off of CDNs.

• Cookie-AutoDelete

  73 1,710 0.8 TypeScript

  Firefox and Chrome WebExtension that deletes cookies and other browsing site data as soon as the tab closes, domain changes, browser restarts, or a combination of those events.

  

1. This extension (CAD) allows to auto delete after a delay (15 seconds by default). So no need to close the browser to delete trackers, and you can re-open a tab without being immediately logged out

2. Exceptions in Firefox preferences don't support regular expressions, so you need to whitelist both https:// and http:// and you can't tune things for subdomains. CAD is much more powerful, with custom rules (*.google.com), white and greylists, etc https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete/wiki/...

3. CAD has the option to keep a log of deletions and restore the deleted data/cookies.

4. And CAD supports containers, so you can open tabs of the same URL but only be logged in the one you want (multiple Gmail accounts but remain incognito in Search, Maps, Youtube and other Google properties).
