emitter follower is a type of negative feedback ,
I think you mean a common emitter amplifier, which is an amplifier of voltage. Emitter-follower or common collector amplifiers are used to match impedances, or to amplify power or current. The emitter-follower is a type of common emitter circuit that has a resistor between the emitter and ground. The output signal is taken from the point between the emitter and its resistor.
Because of the geometry of the common collector configuration, changes in base voltage appear at the emitter. Said another way, what happens at the base pretty much happens at the emitter, and the emitter can be said to "mirror" or "follow" the base. The emitter is a follower of the base, and the name emitter follower appeared and was used.
It can be used as a feedback and to ground unwanted signals and frequencies
for stability
there are four types of feedback connetion. the one used is that which amplifies your input (Positive feedback).
A: Any transistor of either polarity can be used as an emitter follower, The purpose of an emitter follower is to provide current to the load since it cannot provide any voltage gain

The (Class C, Common Collector) Emitter Follower is used to amplify the available current from a voltage driving circuit that might be disturbed by the load impedance. If the actual voltage value is important, the emitter follower is often teamed up with an opamp which sets the emitter voltage based on the input voltage.
In an RC phase shift oscillator, one emitter follower stage is typically used to provide the required phase shift. In a Wien bridge oscillator, two emitter followers are used to achieve the required feedback and oscillation.

Bootstrapping is used in emitter follower circuits to increase the input impedance and improve linearity. By connecting a capacitor from the output to the input, it allows the input signal to be effectively "lifted" above ground, reducing loading effects and enhancing the overall performance of the circuit. This technique minimizes distortion and allows for better voltage tracking, making the emitter follower more efficient in signal amplification applications.

configurations of Common-source (CS), Common-drain (CD) or Source-follower (SF) and the Common-gate (CG) available for most FET devices. These three JFET amplifier configurations correspond to the common-emitter, emitter-follower and the common-base configurations using bipolar transistors.
constructive feedback
In a common-emitter (C-E) configuration, an emitter resistor is used primarily to provide temperature stability and improve linearity of the amplifier. It helps to stabilize the operating point by reducing the effects of temperature variations and transistor beta fluctuations. Additionally, the emitter resistor introduces negative feedback, which enhances linearity and bandwidth while reducing distortion. However, it also reduces the overall voltage gain of the amplifier.
In a Voltage Shunt feedback Amplifier, the feedback signal voltage is given to base of transistor in shunt through a feedback resistor.This Shunt connection decreases the input input impedance and voltage feedback decreases the output impedance. In this amplifier input is current and output is voltage. Thus Transresistance is stabilized.Input and Output impedances are reduced by a factor of 'D'(desensitivity factor). Advantages: 1)Gain independent of device parameters. 2)Bandwidth increases. 3)Noise and non-Linear distortion decrease. 4)Prevents Loading effect. 5)Acts as good source for the next stage.
