ublock is great software (it didn't exist when we started work on PB!) and so there are only a few things PB will catch that it doesn't. But there are some. For instance, PB will replace widgets such as Tweet and Facebook like buttons with locally hosted, non-tracking variants. And PB may catch new trackers faster than ublock because it uses algorithmic detection rather than requiring a blocklist.
