Did you know Privacy Badger replaces embedded tweets, video/audio players, and comments sections with "click to activate" placeholders?
Although potentially useful, these "widgets" often track your browsing. The tracking happens regardless of whether you interact with the widget. If you see a widget, the widget sees you back.
Privacy Badger blocks the widgets to protect your privacy, and replaces them with placeholders to put you in control.

  Privacy Badger Puts You in Control of Widgets
  
  from Alexei Miagkov and Daly Barnett
  
  The latest version of Privacy Badger replaces embedded tweets with click-to-activate placeholders. This is part of Privacy Badger's widget replacement feature, where certain potentially useful widgets are blocked and then replaced with placeholders. This protects privacy by default while letting you restore the original widget whenever you want it or need it for the page to function.
