Hello! Privacy Badger dev here.

uBlock Origin is indeed an excellent privacy tool. However, uBlock Origin is not a replacement for Privacy Badger (nor is Privacy Badger a replacement for uBlock Origin). For one, uBlock Origin uses manually compiled ad blocker lists, while Privacy Badger automatically learns using heuristics. Both approaches have their pluses and minuses. Our FAQ goes into what makes Privacy Badger different here[1] and here[2].

> Also it has been known that having both privacy badger and uBlock origin causes conflicts and issues.

As far as I know, the two extensions work well together. Could you point me to some of these issues?
