No trackers, no ads.

You may occasionally see a “potential trackers” list in Privacy Badger, but these are not trackers. We’re using a free API from Google to automatically retrieve the favicons of the links shared, which you see in front of every single 3rd party article title. (As this service is not officially supported, we may stop using it without notice and either replace it with some other service, or drop it altogether.)

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. It’s just the nature of dealing with comments in modern CMSs.
