Hard data, not hype.
New benchmark results coming soon. Privacy Badger will be benchmarked as well.
<sup>[2014-07-21: For the record, I have ideas on how to improve the privacy-wise usefulness of the figures collated in this benchmark. So I plan to make the next run much better at gauging privacy exposure. The idea is to count the total number of **distinct pairs 1st-party/3rd-party**. This is a much better measure than the one currently used (though the one currently used is better than whatever available I have seen elsewhere.) For example, the current results do not distinguish between a blocker which allow "bad.com" only on "example.com", and another which allow "bad.com" everywhere. I want to fix that.]</sup>
Latest benchmark: 22 July 2014 ([raw data spreadsheet](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/doc/benchmarks/privex-201407-22.ods)).
This benchmark is to measure privacy exposure, by counting the number of **distinct 3rd-party domains** which
have been hit by net requests during the benchmark. The lower the number of distinct 3rd-party domains hit, the better.
