DDG privacy essentials is domain based blocking.

I recommend uBlock Origin. Remove everything else.

Why not both Privacy Badger and uBlock origin?

I don't know what Privacy Badger's blocklist looks like, but without the learning aspect, if it's inbuilt blocklist is already covered by uBlock then all you're doing is slowing down your browser without any benefit.

Right, fair enough. I think having as many as possible makes sense and they're worth the loss of convenience.

As many adblockers as possible is a very bad idea. They interfere with each other. Half of the issues on r/ublockorigin are cause by people using adblock plus with it.

Use only uBlock Origin.

I've never encountered an issue, with Privacy Badger and uBlock.

> but without the learning aspect

They're saying not only can it still be turned back on, but that the inbuilt list is going to be built on their side using the same learning aspect, not built manually.
