Privacy Badger changelog

========================

2026.2.20

* Improved blocking trackers in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers.

Previously, due to now addressed limitations in Manifest V3 Chromium,

Privacy Badger sometimes failed to block domains that should have been

blocked, and blocked domains that should have been ignored.

* Fixed various site breakages

* Improved Traditional Chinese, German, Italian and Japanese translations

2025.12.9

* 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.

* Fixed various site breakages

* Improved Arabic, Traditional Chinese, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese

and European Portuguese translations

2025.9.5

not working in Chrome, Edge and Opera

2025.9.2

* Privacy Badger is now available on Microsoft Edge for Android

* Fixed the popup showing "Nothing to do on this page"

instead of what actually happened in Chrome sometimes

* Fixed various site breakages. Notably, we can now relax blocking for

specific tracking domains on specific sites, instead of only globally.

This lets us fix more broken sites than ever before, since we can now

work around breakages involving highly prominent tracking domains that

we wouldn't be OK partially unblocking globally.

Portuguese, Russian and Swedish translations

fully block these fingerprinters.

convenience but does introduce various bugs.
