@privacybadger@mastodon.social @Distante@mastodon.social @eff@mastodon.social This looks like my good advice. Right now my number one #surveillanceAdvertising security concern for users of managed devices is the Google search ads. (The trademark policy on there allows for scammers to run ads targeting the domains or trademarks of SaaS providers, so users get a bunch of fake login pages trying to steal their info.)
How well does PB address that problem?

@dmarti@federate.social @Distante@mastodon.social @eff@mastodon.social Since Privacy Badger is not an ad blocker, it does not do anything about ads on websites that do not use third-party trackers. If malicious search ads are a concern, I suggest adding a reputable ad blocker such as uBlock Origin.
