Today we are introducing Badger Swarm, a new tool for Privacy Badger that runs distributed Badger Sett scans in the cloud. Badger Swarm helps us continue updating and growing Privacy Badger’s tracker knowledge, as well as continue adding new ways of catching trackers. Thanks to continually expanding Badger Swarm-powered training, Privacy Badger comes packed with its largest blocklist yet.
Currently Privacy Badger will de-mangle Google-mangled links in their search results. You can see it discussed in this episode of Security Now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suT0E53jX40 Here are the show notes (ctrl+f for “badger” and you’ll have all the information you need): https://www.grc.com/sn/SN-945-Notes.pdf
I wasn’t using it until I saw this so I installed it despite using uBlock Origin.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
