We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.
Well both projects are open source, so your reasoning for trusting privacy badger more doesn’t really make any sense.
The code is auditable, and uBlock is the most popular and developed open source ad-blocker. What organizations happen to support / recommend them does not matter.
Well it does not make sense to someone who does not think philosophy matters. I have nothing against ublock and of course its methodology is a preference but eff is an organization whos philosophy I agree with.
