I had to stop using Privacy Badger as a lot of sites would break. This was specifically when shopping, booking tickets or using government/banking sites. Extremely frustrating as most of the places it would break would be important sites where i really didn't want it to happen.

Hi, Privacy Badger dev here. I hear you, and we're working on breaking fewer sites while blocking more trackers. For what it's worth, Privacy Badger now is better at both things than it was years ago, and it will be better yet next year.

thanks for all the time you put into this.

I've had more issues with some filter sources in ublock origin's default list. In particular Fanboy's lists, and some others, that just block classes, IDs and URLs with certain names and patterns that are "commonly" used for annoyances or ads, but are so aggressive they often overdo it.

Didn't realize endcards were a thing on youtube until a year ago because of it, and many sites break in subtle to unsubtle ways.

Youtube's endcards are not blocked by default in uBO, and I can't find a list in the set of stock lists which blocks them.

You can just disable it for some sites, or play around with their trackers to see enabling which fixes your website. I've seen it break some shopping sites too, but that's been mostly on rare occasions for me.

I know and I did that. But when I daily had it break sites it got too annoying. When important sites break half way through using them, it was more a hassle than a help.

When you have multiple similar extensions it can be a long process to figure out which one is breaking a site
