I like how Privacy Badger replaces tracking icons/widgets. I’m guessing uBO just removes them outright? I haven’t really bothered to check the differences.
Most people will tell you that it’s been made obsolete now since (1) it doesn’t use behavioural analysis to detect trackers anymore, it just uses a pre-defined list of trackers to block (2) browsers (especially firefox) now have built-in tracker blocking (3) ublock origin blocks trackers by default anyway.
I don’t think it hurts to still use it, just as a belt and braces approach, but I suppose it’s possible it makes your browser fingerprint more unique.
Interesting. Fingerprinting is a good point, although I’ve switched to a combo of Vivaldi and Librewolf browsers so they’re already fairly unique unfortunately.
No one mentioned Privacy Badger yet. Is there something I don’t know?
uBlock Origin is a lot better.
Privacy Badger can actually be detrimental because it makes you more unique while adding basically nothing useful.

Yes ublock will just completely block/remove all tracking and annoyances, plus whatever other filters you enable.
