[PrivacyBadger] Pushing Privacy Badger's buttons, part 2

[Don Marti]

Still working on tools that a web site can use to
notify users when they're vulnerable to third-party
tracking.

Here's the problem.

 * If the script warns the user when a third-party
   iframe loads, it will falsely notify some users
   of an "untrained" Privacy Badger.

 * If we wait to notify until we're sure that a
   third-party cookie can be set and read on three
   sites, then we miss a chance to notify some users
   of list-based protection who haven't been to enough
   sites that include the iframe.

One solution is...put the https://ad.aloodo.com/track/
iframe everywhere!!1!1  Even if you don't want to run
tracking notifications on your own site, the iframe
will train Privacy Badger to block it, so the cookie
test will work when the user goes to a site that does
do notifications.  Still looking for other solutions.

Anyway, more here:

Comments and suggestions welcome.
