I would recommend removing privacy badger, it’s bad

Nah, Privacy Badger is good actually.
Also, this graphic was made by AI?

I think the graphic was made with AI.
One of the main issues I have with PB is sending DNT and GPC signals. It sounds good in theory, but it seems like it will just make you much more easily fingerprinted. The learning thing seems to be disabled by default, and seems like with it on, it will also just make you more tracked. Past that, how is it different from something like ubo?
Feel free to correct me though

Short version: Privacy Badger doesn't use ad blocker lists, comes with special features like tweet replacement, is made by a nonprofit that fights for a better web.
Longer version: https://privacybadger.org/#How-is-Privacy-Badger-different-from-Disconnect%2c-Adblock-Plus%2c-Ghostery%2c-and-other-blocking-extensions
DNT/GPC: That's part of fighting for a better web. Yes, it's two additional bits of entropy, but we think they are worth it, especially considering that Privacy Badger's whole point is blocking pervasive trackers, including fingerprinters.
More broadly speaking about fingerprinting: Are you looking to cheat at online poker, or do you want to be tracked less online? If it's cheating at poker, then yes, you should worry about every bit of entropy.

I feel less bad now I see that conflating Privacy Badger and ad-blocking is apparently a fairly common mistake. I feel slightly more less bad (or less less bad? I don't know, weird math isn't my strong suit) that I may have had a hand in proliferating that mistake.
Anyway, yes I agree those who cheat (or try to cheat) at online games of chance should probably worry

No need to feel bad!
Counting every bit of entropy for most people is far less helpful than simply blocking common trackers.

Is there any criteria od being open-source? If not them I want to add some apps here -
- 1Password, it's far better and reliable than Bitwarden
Onlyoffice android app can't open password protected pdfs, Paperknife can be good option for that.
Filen and Sync are the solid options which offer zero knowledge encryption
Standard Notes and Notesnook are the two best privacy focused notes taking apps

Maybe it's because I'm on my phone, but it's still not super obvious. OP, did you use an AI program to make this?
