  • Tracker blocking by category
  • Per-site protection controls
  • Visualization of detected trackers

What stands out

  • Focused privacy workflow
  • Open-source implementation
  • Substantial public rating sample

Tradeoffs to know

  • Can overlap with another content blocker
  • Some sites may need exceptions
  • Smaller adoption than the largest blocker extensions

Permissions and privacy

Page access

Protection tools often need broad request or page access to block trackers and malicious content. That reach is functional, but it makes publisher trust and update history especially important.

Data notes

A privacy extension is itself in a privileged position. We weigh the store disclosure, publisher identity, code transparency, and maintenance record—not the privacy label alone.

Pricing

Free with pay-what-you-want support. Pricing and plan limits change more often than store metadata, so use the linked developer page as the final check before subscribing.
