Scary. Netflix is showing logged out though, whereas I'm actually still logged in.

Yeah, it kind of shows conflicting results to me too.

While it correctly identified me being logged into HN, Medium, and Amazon, it completely missed reddit, GitHub, Twitter, Facebook, etc. I'm assuming it missed them because of me running Privacy Badger, but I'm kind of negatively surprised that Privacy Badger failed to protect me from those three I mentioned.

Another false negative: Pinterest.
