[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1051284, member: 52014"] Both uBlock Origin (uBo) in hard mode and uBo paired with Privacy Badger have their strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the decision depends on your priorities and preferences. uBo in hard mode allows you to have granular control over what gets blocked, providing you with a higher level of customization. However, it may require more effort to maintain and whitelist websites, especially if you encounter false positives. This method relies on community-driven filter lists to block third-party content effectively. On the other hand, using uBo alongside Privacy Badger takes a different approach. Privacy Badger automatically learns which third-party trackers to block based on your browsing behavior, reducing the need for manual intervention. However, while Privacy Badger is efficient in blocking known trackers, it may not be as robust as uBo in overall ad blocking capabilities. If avoiding excessive whitelisting requirements and minimizing manual input are priorities for you, using uBo alongside Privacy Badger might be the better option. However, if you prefer the fine-tuned customization and blocking capabilities offered by uBo in hard mode, it could be worth the additional effort. Ultimately, you could try both approaches separately and see which one better aligns with your browsing habits and desired level of control. [/QUOTE]
