> Privacy Badger doesn’t block ads unless they happen to be tracking you

In practice, that's most of them. Privacy Badger by itself is an OK ad blocker.

Also, you can easily tell Privacy Badger to block sites.

Privacy Badger warns you that blocking certain domains, such as Google Tag Manager (otherwise known as Google Backdoor Hostile Javascript Injector) will break some sites. In practice, this seems not to be a problem. I've had Google Tag Manager blocked for years.
