We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.

    Excuse my ignorance, but how are these added to Ublock, as it seems such a sensible thing to do?

      If you follow that link you will see ‘Subscribe’ towards the bottom, that will add it to uBo
