Hi, I'm an EFF staff technologist and wrote most of Privacy Badger Firefox (though I didn't come up with the idea). It's often hard for us to find projects like yours, so we appreciate developers contacting us and telling us about them directly. It's possible we can find a way to work together, if you'd like. Email me: yan at eff dot org.

Disclosure: I didn't work on Privacy Badger Chrome but at least I can fwd you on to the right people. :)

Sorry, that does sound frustrating. I joined EFF partly because it was a good way to make software that people would actually use.

(One constraint that most people may not realize is that EFF has very strict privacy policies for our tech projects. There's lots of projects I'd like to do, but the lawyers probably wouldn't approve. So there's plenty of room for other developers to do projects that step over lines we wouldn't cross.)
