[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 841740, member: 82776"] My take Privacy Possum is zero config with only a switch-off button when it might brake something. It works great along's Firefox and Edge-chromium anti-tracking (set to most strict option). Privacy badge is intended for zero config also, but the dev's of Privacy Badger are ambivalent in their user interface/user experience implementation, so they offer power options, like show third-party references which don't seem to be tracking you and show you the list of trackers with a user set filter but a faulty (unusable) scroll mechanism. When people complain about the scroll mechanism not working properly at their forum, they reply by teling Privacy Badger is intended to use without user interference. My take (or better what I learned at UX-design in my study) when you don;t want users to fiddle with something, don't provide options to tweak the settings. That said (rant ended against Privacy Badger UX-designers), I have Privacy Possum on my girlfriend's PC and use Privacy Badger myself (when Bitdefender tells me I have a tracker I dsiable that domain manually in Privacy Badger). So as with many overlapping software, it is better to discuss what fits best from the prospective of the user (a Porsche 911 is a great sport car, but a KIA SUV is much more practical when you have two kids).
