Privacy Badger was known to be able to learn what to block but local learning could be used to fingerprint you so it was removed. Nowadays it’s only a list based blocker, while the list is still automatically generated on their side through learning it mostly overlap with regular tracking protection list used with uBlock Origin.
They also claim other features but they are either outdated (google outgoing link protection last update is 9 months old and is based on the old url schema) or already covered by uBlock Origin (uBlock Origin can now sanitize urls with the removeparam filter, facebook outgoing link protection is included in the “AdGuard URL Tracking Protection” filter list, for third party widget blocking enable the “EasyList – Social Widgets” list).

Better use Firefox in strict mode with uBlock Origin.
