• Redundant with Total Cookie Protection (dFPI)

Privacy Badger does more than dFPI. dFPI just isolate cookies. Privacy Badger blocks cookies. And completely block connection to some hosts that are dedicated to tracking, which prevent other forms of tracking that aren't cookie-based.

In that blog post, google does not commit to open sourcing these play services features, to integrate in future system upgrade.

That's too bad because most new cars are, and it may cause some people to keep their old polluting but privacy-friendly car longer.
