  No I don’t think so, or they lie.

    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.

      I was unaware of that change, even their website still promote heuristics.

      That being said, it’s not the same list as uBlock origin so you might have trackers going through ublock origin blocked by privacy badger or the opposite.

      My point is, why not use both ?

        Because it makes your fingerprint more unique

        uBlock filters already covers everything privacy badger blocks. It’s better to have less extensions then more. More code that can cause security issues, which is why local learning was disabled in the first place.

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