Full changeset: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/compare/release-2019.11.18...release-2020.1.7.1

Full changeset: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/compare/release-2019.10.28...release-2019.11.18

Highlights:

• Refreshed the popup with a higher-contrast look
• Widget placeholders will no longer be applied for domains on the yellowlist. The value of widget placeholders is full blocking (best privacy) combined with a clear way to restore potentially useful blocked content (convenience). Mixing cookie blocking and placeholders doesn't actually improve privacy or convenience but does introduce various bugs.
• Added a replacement placeholder for YouTube (disabled by default as youtube.com is still on the yellowlist for now)
• Added the Widget Replacement tab to the options page to manage widgets that do get blocked and replaced with Privacy Badger placeholders. Visit Widget Replacement to selectively disable placeholders. For example, you want social buttons out of your life completely.
• Fixed various site breakages
• Added Hebrew translations
• Improved translations (Italian, Russian, Ukrainian)

Content-free update for AMO as version 2019.7.1 failed validation and could no longer be reused. The fix: 41be59bb498ae8e6b74e5125074a913a73857b2f

Full changeset: https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadger/compare/release-2019.7.1...release-2019.7.1.1

Highlights:

• Added pixel cookie sharing detection. Privacy Badger now records tracking by images with querystrings that contain first-party cookie data. This catches Google Analytics. (blog post)
• Removed display of non-tracking domains from the popup by default. Hiding domains that Privacy Badger does not consider to be tracking should reduce self-inflicted Web breakage.
• Enabled Facebook link unwrapping on messenger.com
• Fixed various site breakages
• Added Catalan translations
• Improved translations (Bulgarian, Traditional Chinese, Persian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Swedish, Ukrainian)
