Block all trackers by default option #778

Closed juhiyu closed 8 years ago

juhiyu commented 8 years ago

I cannot see any Block all trackers by default option

Can this be added?

cooperq commented 8 years ago

No, this would break waaay to many things, and I won't give users a gun to shoot their own feet with.

Works pretty well with Ghostery, why would it not work with Privacy Badger?

cooperq commented 8 years ago

We block more stuff than ghostery does, also we use a heuristic not a black list so we have to determine dynamically what is a tracker. When we decide something is a tracker we already do block it by default. The closest analog here would be to block all third party resources by default which would break way too many things.
