Is it different than using ublock origin

  Generally ad blockers end up blocking ads whether they track or not: There are people out there who believe they are entitled to not see advertising or something. Tracking protection is generally close to an add blocker, but won't do anything to prevent display of first party ads or ads that do not attempt to track you. Generally, I'd argue the latter is better than the former, as it encourages websites and the ad industry to behave better: Stop invading my privacy and your ads stop getting blocked.

    I would agree. I use Privacy Badger (always) and NoScript (most of the time). If an add happens to not get blocked by these, great! I'm perfectly fine with viewing an add that is not doing bad things.

      Indeed. I'm a big fan of Firefox + Privacy Badger. It predated most browser tracking prevention features, and I've found more and more is getting caught by the browser before it even makes it to Privacy Badger. I suspect eventually Firefox will be good enough at it to render the extension mostly obsolete.
