Ok. Makes sense. The video is geoblocked for me so I probably should’ve kept my mouth shut

Ghostery, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, etc
- Redundant with Total Cookie Protection (dFPI)
Privacy Badger does more than isolating cookies. It actually block cookies. And completely block connection to some hosts that are dedicated to tracking, which prevent other forms of tracking that aren’t cookie-based.

Wasn’t privacy badger the addon owned by a suspicious company? And telemetry or something?

It’s owned by EFF, which AFAIK is still a trusted org. You might be thinking of Adblock Plus or Ghostery.

Right , Ghostery, my bad.

If you are geoblocked you can stream it with …pbs-video.pbs.org/…/nova5107-AABR-AVC_793.m3u8 with mpv
