just leave the settings as is after installing
every site you visit it will then set itself
also stops the sale/sharing of data to third party domains
and if you find/see a domain not blocked and you think it should be blocked you can then input the domain to OptMeowt
by blocked i mean toggled on for OptMeowt extension
privacy badger you can block
OptMeowt sends a request to not sell/share data to sites
just checking the domains added by this extensions
big list i have gathered in just 4days

is this yours?
according to the webstore there is only one user and no reviews....I like the idea of of it, but am wary of such a new and untested extension......🤷♂️...any advice?
@killagator not mine
yeah it is a new extension tool
@phase posted a URL with some handy downloads for privacy based browsers and extensions all that i knew about
that one seems to be the new kid on the block i hadn't come across it before
think i am No.2 user via chrome store
@killagator although i don't know how often the chrome store user count gets updated
ik it doesn't update every instal/download that happens
@ecksmc Thanks for posting.
I read "OptMeowt" like a cat for some reason.
wee update regarding settings for that extension
you can switch to "domain list" and every site you visit mostly all domains found will be toggled "on"
set a "hotkey" for the extension then you can check what is toggled on/off by default
chrome://extensions/shortcuts
you can set your own "hotkey"
also use the
https://themarkup.org/blacklight
tool for sites read all the results you get back for sites
then check your privacy badger and OptMeowt extensions and make sure trackers are blocked
