Privacy Badger changelog
========================

2026.8.7
* Fixed the direct link to the video page in widget replacements for YouTube
* Fixed tweet replacement for tweets served from x.com (and not twitter.com)
* Fixed remaining accessibility bugs on the welcome page and in the popup
* Fixed welcome page graphic for opening the popup on Android
* Fixed various site breakages
* Improved Arabic, Traditional Chinese, Dutch, Esperanto, Greek, Polish,
European Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian translations

2026.6.16
* Updated the new user welcome page to better explain how to disable
Privacy Badger on a site. Redesigned pinning instructions in Chrome
to become a part of learning about the "Disable for this site" button.
* Added a new way to support Privacy Badger (with a sweatshirt!) to the popup,
shown sometimes instead of existing "donate" and "leave a review" links.
Also added a link to subscribe to privacy news ("EFFector").
* Fixed hang on the Tracking Domains tab for screen reader users.
This also improves options page performance for all users.
* Improved keyboard navigation of tracking domains on the options page
* Fixed various site breakages
* Improved Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Finnish, Swedish and Ukrainian
translations. Removed Czech and Korean translations due to lack of updates.

2026.2.20
* Improved blocking trackers in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers.
Previously, due to now addressed limitations in Manifest V3 Chromium,
Privacy Badger sometimes failed to block domains that should have been
blocked, and blocked domains that should have been ignored.
* Fixed various site breakages
* Improved Traditional Chinese, German, Italian and Japanese translations

2025.12.9
* Fixed various screen reader and keyboard navigation bugs.
If you have feedback on how to make Privacy Badger more accessible,
please let us know!
* Fixed enforcement for "CNAME cloaked" trackers in Chrome and Chromium-based
browsers. Prominent trackers like Adobe sometimes hide their tracking domains
behind CNAME alias domains that belong to the website being visited.
Privacy Badger should once again properly block known aliases in Chrome.

and European Portuguese translations

* Fixed the popup showing "Nothing to do on this page"
instead of what actually happened in Chrome sometimes
* Fixed various site breakages. Notably, we can now relax blocking for
specific tracking domains on specific sites, instead of only globally.
This lets us fix more broken sites than ever before, since we can now
work around breakages involving highly prominent tracking domains that
we wouldn't be OK partially unblocking globally.

Portuguese, Russian and Swedish translations
