  • replaceable by ubo, therefore redundant
  • enables DNI which is useless and makes it easier to track you
  • (maybe outdated) makes you easier to fingerprint in general

So what you are saying is that I should remove privacy badger?

Right now I use uBlock, privacy badger, canvas defender and decentraleyes together.

uBlock is all you need. Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I might be wrong :p
