          I use the combination of both, and works really well. Plus https://unchecky.com/

            They don't cover the same ground, do they? I didn't think that it was one or the other, you use PrivacyBadger regardless of the ad blocker that you choose was the impression that I have. PB is not an ad blocker.

              PB does kinda both "Privacy Badger blocks spying ads and invisible trackers", but i still consider PB as layer to block trackers and ublock origin for all generic ads

                Kinda both, but not really. Only malicious ads, not ads in general.

                  The only reason I'm trying this extension is because it's from EFF. Scary to see what's still left after DNT, AdBlock and ADP, just tried a popular German IT news site, http://www.heise.de

                  The look and feel of PrivacyBadger could be better, like a button that blocks all domains / cookies for that site.

                  Thanks for sharing, @scottalanmiller.

                    Same here, I only use it because it is the EFF.

                      uBlock origin + Ghostery on Opera, because Privacy Badger only works w/ Chrome.

                              Ah.. Chrome and FF are the only browsers that PB works with. No love for Opera (even though it's chromium based).

                                exactly what I use as well. PrivacyBadger will break some sites but you can turn it off selectively.
