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 ?

No I don’t think so, or they lie.

Ublock origin blacklisted trackers list might not be exhaustive so privacy badger will pick up.

Btw I’d love to have a nice explanation on how it works if you think I’m wrong

The more lines of defense the better

EDIT: to the dumbfucks downvoting this comment I’ll clarify so you can learn something today :

uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are not the same thing. Privacy badger is focused on blocking trackers but wont block ads.

uBlock origin will try to block trackers based on a list, but it might not be updated or exhaustivew That’s where privacy badger comes handy, it should pick up most of trackers that will go through uBlock origin.

I was about to ask the same question.

The thing is reddit is one website so you can easily ask google to filter on site:reddit.com whereas lemmy has plethora of instances (domains), so I wonder how this will happen technically… Unless someone creates a domain and index all lemmy instances, I don’t think this will be possible.
