It's not bad, just mostly redundant these days, as the heuristic features are no longer enabled, and the defaults ublock lists will cover a lot of the same.

Also the heuristics can be exploited to create a unique identifier for your browser, so it’s not a flawless solution.

Fyi you can still enable heuristic blocking from settings.

Privacy badger doesn't require somebody to add an address to a list to block it, it figures our statistically when something should be blocked. The upside is that it can block things that are new and haven't been added to a list. I assume it could also better adapt to new methods to get stuff through a typical blocker.
