It has been the consensus of the privacy community for quite a few years now not to use Privacy Badger. As few exentions as possible to cover everything is the current view. Arkenfox lists extension features that aren't covered by FireFox inbuilt or uBlock Origin: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions

Interesting. Thanks.
Hi, PB dev here. Privacy Badger does not replace uBlock Origin, and uBlock Origin does not replace Privacy Badger. While one of them may well be enough for you, the two work well together. Our FAQ goes into what makes Privacy Badger different here[1] and here[2].

Thanks, even though I can't install PB on my current browser anyway.

I use Iridium, and they are still based, om OSX, on Chromium 116.0.

Ah! We had to bump minimum Chrome version to 121 because of some stuff related to the Manifest V3 migration. Hopefully Iridium will update their browser soon; doesn't seem secure to run on old Chromium.
