I cannot install the privacy badger. My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 and my Opera version is: 76.0.4017.177
The error message I receive is: "Download interrupted with reason: FILE_ACCESS_DENIED".
Is this problem a known issue? Regards, ellocco -

@ellocco: Try removing the "login.keyring" and setting the owner user and owner group of all your files in your user home directory to your user. Then restart your web browser.
rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
sudo find /home/[Your-Username] -user root -exec chown [Your-Username] -v {} ;
sudo find /home/[Your-Username] -group root -exec chown [Your-Username]:[Your-Username] -v {} ;

I installed Privacy Badger but Opera says it will soon stop supporting it.
I installed version 2024.7.17 from the Opera store -

@jaekobcaed: Completely agree, but just read something that disturbed a bit but will not change the way I use it. From now on they will disable by default the most powerful feature of the tool, for they were approached by won't name who; (They talk about in their new policy anyways). The local learning feature to reduce the risk of traceability.
I do not engage anyone by saying this, I will definitely re-enable this option in my settings for I never faced any issues with my use of this app in the past. -

"Do Not Track signal" but does that not make your fingerprint more Unique? And with that easier to identify? Especially as many sites just ignore these at the best case and worst case they than track you more/differently.
