Yesterday (19/08/2023) everything worked fine. Today (20/08/2023) I can no longer login to Twitch using Firefox. I restarted browser and cleared cache. No change.

EDIT: I tried again after 30min and it works again. I have some privacy-oriented plugins but I don't play with custom useragent.

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

Privacy Badger also relies on blocklists.

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 »

Thanks to disclosures from Google Security Team, we are changing the way Privacy Badger works by default in order to protect you better. Privacy Badger used to learn about trackers as you browsed the Web. Now, we are turning “local learning” off by default, as it may make you more identifiable to websites or other actors.

From now on, Privacy Badger will rely solely on its “Badger Sett” pre-trained list of tracking domains to perform blocking by default. Furthermore, Privacy Badger’s tracker database will be refreshed periodically with the latest pre-trained definitions. This means, moving forward, all Privacy Badgers will default to relying on the same learned list of trackers for blocking.

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 ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Because it makes your fingerprint more unique

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

uBlock filters already covers everything privacy badger blocks. It's better to have less extensions then more. More code that can cause security issues, which is why local learning was disabled in the first place. More is not always better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That used to be the default behaviour, now it's disabled but you can still enable this feature in its settings.
