New Update Privacy Badger updates

This is the info from the link included in above post:

Why does my browser connect to fastly.com IP addresses on startup after installing Privacy Badger?​

EFF uses Fastly to host EFF’s Web resources: Fastly is EFF’s CDN. Privacy Badger pings the CDN for the following resources to ensure that the information in them is fresh even if there hasn’t been a new Privacy Badger release in a while:

EFF does not set cookies or retain IP addresses for these queries.

A post from Privacy Badger's primary developer:
Our Edge and Firefox versions are still MV2. The main reason for staying on MV2 is that MV3 is buggy. Edge has its own bugs (for example), and I am sure so does Firefox.
At some point we will either be forced to migrate, or MV3 will become less buggy and more fully featured than MV2 (at least for Privacy Badger's immediate needs), in which case we will migrate voluntarily.

Using an older version of Firefox?

ALL add-ons will stop working on Firefox versions older than 128 (or older than ESR 115.13+) on March 14, in just a few days from now.

To keep using your add-ons including Privacy Badger, you will need to update Firefox: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/roo...

Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration | Mozilla Support
Update to Firefox 128+ by March 14, 2025, to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM media and essential features due to an expiring root certificate.

Mozilla has a more extensive and slow review process. Chrome Web Store updates are faster because their "review" process is automated and not very secure.

This is the latest version of Privacy Badger for Firefox for now, as @oldschool mentioned, Firefox takes some time to review the extensions before release (which is good thing by the way), so you need to wait.

Highlights:

  • Fixed various screen reader and keyboard navigation bugs. If you have feedback on how to make Privacy Badger more accessible, please let us know!
  • Fixed enforcement for "CNAME cloaked" trackers in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. Prominent trackers like Adobe sometimes hide their tracking domains behind CNAME alias domains that belong to the website being visited. Privacy Badger should once again properly block known aliases in Chrome.
