On iOS, you can try Privacy Badger in Orion browser. We'll work on supporting Safari for iOS sometime after we launch in Safari for macOS, which is not too long from now.

The plan seems to be to remove these third-party domains from eff.org and handle email signups in a different way, but I don't know when this will happen.

Privacy Badger @privacybadger.org · 15/07/2026
Privacy Badger reports the same, more or less. (The domains are used to load the email signup form.) Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant to say that you're using what is essentially an old, unmaintained version of Privacy Badger.

I think it came out of the "honey badger don't care" thing with snakes replaced by web trackers. With some "badger badger badger mushroom" in there too probably. It is a noble and tenacious beast regardless.

You can always visit privacybadger.org to see if your browser is supported. Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc. on macOS are all fully supported. If you use Safari on macOS, we have a beta test that you can join: bsky.app/profile/priv... We'll look into Safari on iOS after we're done with Safari on macOS.

Yep, Chrome still doesn't support extensions on Android. On Android, you can add Privacy Badger to Firefox and Edge.

Scores don't mean much in isolation, especially if the extensions block known fingerprinters. Do you want to reduce pervasive non-consensual surveillance, or are you trying to cheat at online poker?

The two extensions work well together. Privacy Badger is different: not an ad blocker (does not use ad blocker lists), comes with own special features (widget replacement), made by a non-profit, fights for a better web.

Would you like to help us test Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS? You'll need Safari 26 and Apple's TestFlight app. If this sounds good, please send an email to extension-devs at eff.org and we'll send you an invite when the build is ready.

Privacy Badger 2026.2.20 improves tracker blocking in Chrome. Before, PB sometimes failed to block what should've been blocked, and blocked what should've been ignored, thanks to a long-known Google's Manifest V3 limitation. To install Privacy Badger, visit privacybadger.org

Thank you! We are working on Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS. It’s not a straightforward port because of Safari bugs and divergences in behavior from other browsers.

When trackers ignore DNT/GPC signals, Privacy Badger blocks them. In other words, Privacy Badger enforces DNT/GPC.

Agreed, uBO is great. PB still automatically learns, just not on your device. For more, see www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

We get great "bang for the buck" with a browser extension. Don't get me wrong, an extension is still a lot of work but not too much.

uBO works well by itself. uBO also works well with PB. You might want to use PB on top of uBO for PB-specific features like widget replacement. You may also enjoy the extra protection from two different block lists. For more, see privacybadger.org#How-is-Priva...

Does your Privacy Badger show a "Privacy Badger has replaced this Twitch Player widget" placeholder once you click "I UNDERSTAND" on livestream.eff.org? If you see the placeholder, you should be able to allow the Twitch widget once or always on eff.org. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Red ought to do it, but heads up, full blocking of "accounts.google.com" will break some login pages entirely. That's why we have it set to yellow by default. Good domain to fully block if you're comfortable using the "Disable for this site" button when something goes wrong.

Safari for iOS lacks certain extension capabilities needed by Privacy Badger, but we should figure something out eventually. As far as other iOS browsers, you could try installing the Orion browser and adding Privacy Badger there.
