Τι είναι το Privacy Badger; Το ίδρυμα Electronic Frontier Foundation κυκλοφόρησε ένα plug-in για τον browser που useste to help you determine which ones websites they are watching you. The plug-in is called Privacy Badger browser and it comes in beta form. Last May, its development began and today it was released for the first time as Public Beta.
The tool will show you how websites view your behavior and allow you to control what information these sites can see and which ones do not.
Υπάρχουν και άλλα plug-ins που προσφέρουν παρόμοιες υπηρεσίες. Το EFF εξηγεί ωστόσο, ότι όλοι χρειάζονται κάποια προσαρμοσμένη ρύθμιση για να εμποδίσουν μη επιθυμητούς trackers. Το Privacy Badger browser, χρησιμοποιεί αυστηρούς αλγοριθμικούς μεθόδους για την detection and prevention such activities. "It creates a code that could actually be adopted by other extensions, or by mainstream browsers, to give users maximum control over who does and what they do when they visit different websites."
The tool searches for third party domains that serve images, text, and ads on the pages. If a third-party server monitors your activities without permission, Privacy Badger will automatically ban the appearance of the content.
The application has some menu controls. Green means that the site does not monitor your activities, yellow indicates there is some tracking, but the site is in the allowed list, while red means you are ready to enter a site that greatly monitors your online habits.
