Saw an article about this on Ars...thought some here might like to give the Alpha release a try...as EFF.org is looking for users.

I haven't used it yet, but going to give it a shot I suppose, just for the heck of it.

The use case I see is for people who like to allow ads, but don't want to be tracked. I don't think it would do anything for me. I keep my browser locked down pretty tight.

Doesn't seem to work for me...but it might be because I use an old version of FF (21). Once it's installed and you click on the icon it just says "loading..." and nothing happens. Interested to see if any others find a different outcome...

That might be the case for why it isn't working right for me also. I use ABP and NoScript (among others) so probably have all of it covered in one form or another.
