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.

« Instead of keeping lists of what to block, Privacy Badger automatically discovers trackers based on their behavior »

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.

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript. It means any valid JavaScript is also valid TypeScript.

You should start to learn basic JavaScript mechanisms : prototype inheritance, hoisting, scopes, this, event loop, type coercion.

Once « JavaScript » sounds familiar you will embrace TypeScript which is JavaScript with steroids!

They have a partnership with Microsoft. Not saying it’s a scandal but that was my reason to stop using it

Hmmm, you’re right, sounds like I overestimated rice… Let me edit before I kill someone with my ‘advice’.
