It's going! We've been making changes to prepare Privacy Badger for non-persistent background processes, be it an event page (Firefox) or an extension service worker (Chrome). We're now moving content filtering from webRequest to declarativeNetRequest.
Highlights:
Full changeset: release-2023.9.12...release-2023.10.31
- Added widget replacement for embedded Tweets. Privacy Badger replaces potentially useful widgets with placeholders. These replacements protect privacy while letting you restore the original widget whenever you want it or need it for the page to function.
- Fixed various site breakages
- Improved Brazilian Portuguese and Swedish translations
