[QUOTE="Cheeseman, post: 908236, member: 87927"] Since ubo and adguard already did an arguably better job at blocking ads, trackers, etc.. than privacy badger (one is specified to block 3rd-party fingerprinting only, ubo and adguard are blocking ads, trackers (1st and 3rd party)). To me, there's no reason to use a tool that has way better alternatives with better and more options to choose from. Granted, the extension learns as you browse is a good idea, but having the old, more relyable filters (how can a software component decide what ad should be blocked and what not (besides the creator(s)' "decision" obviusly)). The best would be a hybrid both addon-learning and human-made filterlist combo... [/QUOTE]
