Today we are introducing Badger Swarm, a new tool for Privacy Badger that runs distributed Badger Sett scans in the cloud. Badger Swarm helps us continue updating and growing Privacy Badger’s tracker knowledge, as well as continue adding new ways of catching trackers. Thanks to continually expanding Badger Swarm-powered training, Privacy Badger comes packed with its largest blocklist yet.

It’s probably overkill, I think. Based on my understanding of it, there’s a chance Privacy Badger will help you out in a scenario if you happen to re-enable too many things while unbreaking websites in Medium Mode:
But at that point, it would theoretically only catch something uBlock Origin blocklists somehow missed… IMO, highly unlikely.
