#22Gives me some confidence in uBlock & Privacy Badger... The first time I ran it there was 1 site tracking me (adbrain).. I adjusted my PB settings accordingly and got 0. It's a useful site for calibrating those tools! http://i.imgur.com/hdReODM.png
you may also consider to switch on: Settings -> Show advanced settings -> Privacy -> Content settings -> Block third-party cookies and site data.
any downsides to this?

Be careful, some sites/services don't function correctly without that set.

I've been blocking 3rd party cookies for over a year and haven't noticed any downsides or broken websites.

Google+ Notifications don’t work on any Google sites except for plus.google.com (so you can’t view your notifications on other sites).
But that’s it.

#26Is there any legitimate use for third-party cookies (which is all this seems to analyze)? I disabled third-party cookies years ago and I have never noticed any negative side effects at all.

Such as? It's been years since I allowed third party cookies and I've never noticed any issues.

#28Between Privacy Badger, Self-Destructing Cookies, and AdBlock Pro (and a browser cache which wipes itself on close), a grand total of zero trackers. Woo woo!
The page won't even load for me, that's good, right? Paranoid mode FTW!
Turning off NoScript and Random Agent Spoofer doesn't help. Still running: uBlock, HTTPS Everywhere, Disconnect, and BetterPrivacy.

#29People don't care. It is funny that smart people don't care about tech and ad companies violating their privacy by collecting data and profiting from it. But they have an issue with the government doing it to protect them. Perhaps has something to do with the fact that silicon valley's success is based on the advertising business model and violation of people's privacy.

What's your reason for running both uBlock & Privacy Badger?
