EFF PrivacyBadger + uBlock with lots of lists enabled blocks most of the tracking garbage. Sad state of affairs that basically every website is doing some kind of for-profit selling of their users.
- perdunov 12y agoGhostery found one tracker (PiwikAnalytics) that PrivacyBadger didn't on the PrivacyBadger page itself.
- mike-cardwell 12y agoI'm not sure there's much wrong with using Piwik, as long as it is self-hosted. If using Piwik is bad, then so is using Apache access logs.
- perdunov 12y ago> so is using Apache access logs. This kind of might be. Ideally, anonymous is supposed to mean collecting no data at all.
- vinceguidry 12y agoThat's just silly. It's next to impossible to provide good UX without knowing what your customers are doing on your site.
- perdunov 12y agoMy guitar has superb UX. Are you suggesting it's tracking me? (Oh my!)
- vinceguidry 12y agoTry making an Internet-connected guitar, that, say, downloads its own effects, and see how easy it remains to use.
- DavideNL 12y agoi stopped using EFF PrivacyBadger after i noticed it automatically adds cookie exceptions to Firefox which makes the SelfDestructingCookies addon useles. This 'bug' is stil not fixed at time of writing btw: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadgerfirefox/issues/206#issuecomment-86774536 https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadgerfirefox/issues/206#is... So i started using Disconnect instead...
