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:

I still use both, and already knew about this change. Is it useless overkill to keep both? Probably. But Privacy Badger also enables the GPC signal to let sites know you want to opt out of data sharing under the CCPA and GDPR. (You can enable GPC in about:config in Firefox, but that’s a hassle to do on every device, and extensions can be synced across devices)
I’m sure there’s plenty of discussion to be had around the effectiveness of the GPC, but to be it’s worth it even if it’s just as a stat of users that care about data privacy. There’s also always a chance that something makes it to Privacy Badger’s Blocklist before uBlock Origin’s (although it’s probably more likely to be the other way around).

Privacy Badger also relies on blocklists.

No I don’t think so, or they lie.
« Instead of keeping lists of what to block, Privacy Badger automatically discovers trackers based on their behavior »

That used to be the default behaviour, now it’s disabled but you can still enable this feature in its settings.
