Privacy Badger: stop online trackers in their tracks

Presented at ToorCamp 2014, July 11, 2014, 4 p.m. (50 minutes)

In this talk Cooper will introduce the design and implementation of Privacy Badger, EFF's new browser extension that automatically blocks both invisible trackers and spying ads. It is intended to be a minimal or zero-configuration option that most Internet users can use to prevent non-consensual third party collection of their reading habits from their everyday browser.
