  The more lines of defense the better

    That’s not how this works.

      Ublock origin blacklisted trackers list might not be exhaustive so privacy badger will pick up.

      Btw I’d love to have a nice explanation on how it works if you think I’m wrong

        Posted this in another comment, but this is why:

        Thanks to disclosures from Google Security Team, we are changing the way Privacy Badger works by default in order to protect you better. Privacy Badger used to learn about trackers as you browsed the Web. Now, we are turning “local learning” off by default, as it may make you more identifiable to websites or other actors.
        
        From now on, Privacy Badger will rely solely on its “Badger Sett” pre-trained list of tracking domains to perform blocking by default. Furthermore, Privacy Badger’s tracker database will be refreshed periodically with the latest pre-trained definitions. This means, moving forward, all Privacy Badgers will default to relying on the same learned list of trackers for blocking.

        Privacy Badger also relies on blocklists.

  They don’t block the same things every time, so it’s perfectly fine to have both.

    What does uBlock not block that isn’t in its filters?

    source

    • envis10n@lemm.ee ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      uBlock blocks things solely based on them being in a filter list. Privacy badger blocks form controls and html elements that can allow tracking. Those are different things.

        uBlock Origin does that
