I used to use Privacy Badger as well, but they've recently removed the learning feature (because it could be used to track you, IIRC), so it became similar to uBlock Origin, to the point where it feels redundant to run both.
- eythian 5y agoThanks for pointing this out. I just had a look at the settings and found that you can turn it back on, though it does come with the warning. Personally I think the risk to me of it learning being a detectable event vs. the tracking it blocks to be less, so I turned it back on.
- StavrosK 5y agoYes, I also turned it back on when I realized. I just noticed that I'm actually still using it, I just had the icon hidden. It's not as useful without the learning, though.
- andrew_ 5y agoI use AdBlock Plus in tandem with Privacy Badger because they do occasionally snag baddies that the other does not. To make this silly redundancy complete, I'm running them both on Brave, which catches almost all of what the two extensions used to handle.
- celsoazevedo 5y ago> I use AdBlock Plus Isn't uBlock Origin a better extension, both from a blocking (no "Acceptable Ads", for example) and also performance point of view?
- andrew_ 5y agoI've been told that, but I'm comfortable with what I know at the moment. Given how aggressive Brave it, I'm not sure I'm at a disadvantage keeping the status quo.
