While there is overlap between list-based blockers' and Privacy Badger’s protections, unlike list-based blockers, Privacy Badger automatically discovers trackers. This means your Privacy Badger can learn to block tracking that list-based blockers don’t know about.

This automatic learning happens prior to every Privacy Badger update (https://www.eff.org/badger-pretraining).

You can also choose to enable local learning with a single click by visiting Privacy Badger's options page. Users in geographic regions poorly covered by list-based blockers (for example) may want to enable Privacy Badger's local learning.

Besides automatic tracker blocking, Privacy Badger comes with privacy features like click-to-activate replacements for potentially useful trackers (video players, comments widgets, etc.), and link cleaning on Facebook and Google.
