Digital Privacy: EFF Updates “Privacy Badger” Tool to Fight Google’s Use of Link Tracking

From EFF:

With its latest update, Privacy Badger now fights “link tracking” in a number of Google products.
Link tracking allows a company to follow you whenever you click on a link to leave its website. Earlier this year, EFF rolled out a Privacy Badger update targeting Facebook’s use of this practice.
As it turns out, Google performs the same style of tracking, both in web search and, more concerning, in spaces for private conversation like Hangouts and comments on Google Docs. From now on, Privacy Badger will protect you from Google’s use of link tracking in all of these domains.
