If you've got #uBlockOrigin in #Firefox, is it worth having #PrivacyBadger as well, or does one of them do all the same things as the other? If so, which one?

So if I run #NoScript (which I do), PB would have little data to learn from, and UO would be sufficient to catch anything that gets through when I occasionally allow JS on specific domains to make sites work.

> I don't disable JS (doing so breaks too many sites I rely on)Same. That's what's great about NS. Instead of using the browser settings to toggle JS on and off, it allows me to opt-in to JS, on a per-domain basis, on the sites where I want to use it. You can permanently allow JS for a given domain, or allow it temporarily as you need it.
