I never heard of Privacy Badger until you mentioned it.
Their FAQ[0] says it's a replacement to Adblock Plus (which implies uBlock Origin too).
What makes you use both of them together? Why not just Privacy Badger?

- input_sh 7y agoPrivacy Badger isn't an adblocker per se. It's designed to block trackers, not ads. Those two often collide, but Privacy Badger won't do a thing to block first-party ads (as an example). That's somewhat different than uBlock Origin's no-ads-what-so-ever policy.
- WilTimSon 7y agoDoes PrivacyBadger interfere with uBlock or vice versa? I really like this on paper but wouldn't want to fiddle too much with adding exceptions to each of them just to make sure they don't cannibalize one another.
- stubish 7y agoNo, they play together just fine. Privacy Badger probably doesn't do much (or anything) in addition to uBlock Origin, but it is nice to wave the EFF flag.
