We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.

A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn’t great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don’t promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

For those of you that don’t want to install another add-on, this filter for uBlock does a similar thing: https://filterlists.com/lists/clearurls-for-ublock-origin
https://filterlists.com/lists/actually-legitimate-url-shortener-tool is bigger list and is updated more often.
Excuse my ignorance, but how are these added to Ublock, as it seems such a sensible thing to do?
Sorry, just seen this. Glad someone else sorted you out.
If you follow that link you will see ‘Subscribe’ towards the bottom, that will add it to uBo
Much appreciated!
Also good for cases where a website reads your active addons. Ublock users > users of privacy badger + ublock
I don’t think that’s possible nowadays. On Firefox at least, chrome still makes it possible through web accessible resources of the extensions
