    Do any of you use the "Privacy Badger" extension:

    various websites?

    Methinks this was meant for alt.comp.software.firefox. I've tried
    setting followups for that group (not sure how to do that in Thunderbird).

    Anyway, to answer your question, I used Privacy Badger from the time it
    came out until I switched to Pale Moon after the change to Web
    Extensions broke some stuff I needed, It was the first extension I
    installed after coming back and was one of the things I missed most
    during my exile. I wouldn't be without it. Any site it breaks is one I likely don't need anyway, and if I do need it I just go to a blank
    screen, turn Privacy Badger off, go to the site then turn Privacy Badge
    back on after leaving the site and cleaning the browser.
