EFF Launches Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released Privacy Badger, its free tracker-blocking browser extension, for Safari on macOS. The tool, already used by more than four million people on other browsers, requires Safari version 26.5 or higher.
Why this matters: Safari users are a big chunk of the web, and until now they were left out of one of the most trusted free tools for blocking the trackers that follow you around online. Privacy Badger does not sell anything. It does not replace one data collector with another. It just blocks the surveillance quietly running behind most websites you visit. If you use Safari on a Mac, this is a straightforward way to make that a little harder for data brokers to do their job.
