Really! on the paged link I provided at the bottom it asks if I want to create a link to the chart which is what I did as advised by AV-Comparatives.

The picture of the chart I posted wasn't meant to be used for information.
I posted a link to the main site where you have access to everything if you are interested.:)

Not a problem Bob, I just figured that if a picture was going to be displayed it might as well contain a quick glossary of the information which would be enough for many of those who don't want to navigate to the website.

You may not realize it but, it takes quite a bit of resources to bring up the picture using your link. The discussion should be about the merits of the review. :)

No more resources than your link I find and my first post was concerned with the test reviews :)

@bob3160
I tried alpha version in Opera Developer and I am not impressed at all.
Privacy Badger uses ABP code and only blocks 3rd party tracking similar to built in Tracking Protection in IE11.
It looks like it is blocking some stuff that ABP is not blocking (Google things),but those are whitelisted in EasyList
and EasyPrivacy filter lists because otherwise some elements on websites are broken.
Maybe in the future I'll try Privacy Badger again.
