ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Privacy Badger

Privacy Badger is a little tool that helps to protect your privacy while you surf the internet. It is like a friendly little critter that sits on your web browser (like Chrome or Firefox) and watches all the different websites you visit. If Privacy Badger sees any companies or websites that are trying to track you without your permission, it will let you know and help to block them.

Think of it like this: when you go to a new place to play, you want to make friends with the other kids and have fun, but you don't want anyone to follow you around or take your picture without your permission. Well, the internet can be like that too - you want to be able to go online and read, watch videos, and play games, but you don't want websites to follow you around and collect information about you without your say-so. That's where Privacy Badger comes in - it helps you play safely and keeps you from being bothered by companies that are trying to spy on you.
