I was under the impression that Privacy Badger wasn't considered useful any more . . . ? They should've just recommended using Firefox instead, yes?

EDIT: They spoke to, but IMHO, did not give enough time to, Cory Doctorow and Brewster Kahle. They mentioned Mastodon ๐Ÿ‘, and described the Fediverse while not actually calling it that! A bit frustrating.

Well, they spoke with the EFF which made Privacy Badger, so maybe that's why. They did the password thing with the dice, tho, which I guess is good.

Ok. Makes sense. The video is geoblocked for me so I probably should've kept my mouth shut
