EFF brings its Privacy Badger anti-tracking extension to Safari on Mac
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has brought its Privacy Badger anti-tracking extension to Safari on the Mac, extending a tool that until now was limited to Chrome, Edge and Firefox. MacRumors reported the launch on October 19, citing an EFF press release.
Privacy Badger is free. On Safari it requires version 26.5 or later and runs on macOS.
The EFF describes Privacy Badger as a tool that blocks ad trackers following people from site to site. Rather than relying only on a fixed list, the group says the extension uses algorithmic methods to learn which hidden trackers are at work. It does not block ads as such unless those ads also track users, according to the EFF.
