[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 1051271, member: 71262"] Hard mode will lead to more whitelisting than Medium mode. Once you develop your rules list for your normal surfing pattern you won't do a lot more, and can temporarily unblock 3rd party and let the lists do the blocking. I advise Medium over Hard mode. It's Gorhill's preferred mode. Privacy Badger is redundant with µBO and superfluous. Privacy Badger no longer uses "learning" mode by default due to a security concern but it may be enabled in settings. IMO PB is uselful only if you want a set-and-forget tracker blocker, and it will block some [I]but not many[/I] ads as a side benefit. The best option in lieu of PB is Ghostery as a simple, fairly comprehensive ad and tracker blocker. [/QUOTE]
