      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.

      uBlock Origin is a lot better.

      Privacy Badger can actually be detrimental because it makes you more unique while adding basically nothing useful.

        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.
