Hi, Privacy Badger dev here. The short answer is, it *shouldn't*. Longer answer here: https://privacybadger.org/#Does-Privacy-Badger-contain-a-lis...

Last I checked they relied on DNS-level blocking , like ublock origin, in addition to some fancy replacements for widgets like disqus. I don't think privacy badger blocks loading content from most CDNs but it may block cookies from them.

I used it for short time few years ago, but stopped after it was breaking sites by blocking regular images from CDN. I guess I could have made a whitelist or otherwise tweak its behaviour, but I don't have time to babysit software which probably brought only marginal benefits over uO filters anyway.
