Description
Privacy Badger is a browser extension designed to autonomously identify and block invisible trackers that monitor users' online activities. This tool effectively prevents advertisers and various third-party trackers from covertly surveilling your browsing habits and the websites you visit. When Privacy Badger detects that an advertiser is tracking you across several sites without your consent, it promptly obstructs that advertiser from loading additional content in your browser, making it seem as though you have vanished to them. The inception of Privacy Badger stemmed from a commitment to provide a straightforward solution that could independently assess and eliminate any tracker or advertisement that disregarded user consent. It operates seamlessly without necessitating user settings, prior knowledge, or configuration, and it is developed by an organization that prioritizes user interests over those of advertisers, leveraging algorithmic techniques to determine what constitutes tracking. Ultimately, Privacy Badger empowers users to regain control over their online privacy.
Description
When users report a sponsor occurrence through the extension, it cleverly utilizes a privacy-focused query system to automatically bypass known sponsors. Additionally, it offers functionality to skip other content types, including intros, outros, and subscription reminders, allowing users to jump directly to highlighted segments. To ensure that a single heavily voted submission doesn't dominate, I implemented a weighted random distribution based on a specific formula, which prioritizes early votes significantly more than those on submissions that are already popular. This approach enhances the likelihood that newer submissions will be presented to users for voting, promoting a diverse range of content visibility. As a result, while the majority of users encounter the top-rated submissions, a select few will be exposed to less popular entries, giving those submissions an opportunity for upvotes or downvotes. This method not only democratizes the voting process but also encourages engagement with a variety of content.
