I'm a little slow on the uptake with all of these new ways people are tracked, so I apologize for the question I'm about to ask:
Every single box that uBlock Origin shows me in the settings for it I tick to on (except experimental stuff and any languages I don't speak or visit those websites) so I still need Privacy Badger or an equivalent of that, you're saying?
I only use base Firefox so I can sign in and send stuff from my phone over to the computer or vice versa. So, essentially, I'm still a very easy person to identify? :-/
Privacy badger will hold back certain scripts and resources being loaded on sites, so it'll be a bit aggressive to begin with and prevent youtube embeds, X post embeds etc. on sites, but as you visit sites you trust you can slowly permanently allow these things if you feel like you can trust them.
A great thing about the extension is that it puts out the "Do not track" (Global Privacy Control) signal to sites, which at least most lawful sites hosted in the USA respect.
Settings you can set, including GPC.
