Just a heads up, privacy badger effectively doesn’t do anything besides take up resources and make you slightly more fingerprintable as compared to simply using ublock. All of its useful behaviors were culled a few years ago, funny enough, due to fingerprinting. Its blocklist is severely out of date.
I was aware that they made that change but I didn’t know it made it worse for tracker blocking. I don’t see ads and I don’t get the external discussions such as discus so it seems to work.
I’ll check it out.
