If you have uBlock Origin then Privacy Badger is redundant. Also, more extensions = easier fingerprinting.

Privacy Badger focus on blocking trackers. uBlock origin blocks all kind of things Ads,Trackers,etc and so it have a higher risk of breaking sites.

Yes, they're mostly redundant. Happy uBlock Origin users should probably keep using just uBlock. People who don't use uBlock to avoid breaking websites, or just want to block trackers, should use Privacy Badger.
