I honestly really like what they do with the fingerprinting. But it's just a straight trade. Now amazon can't follow me directly, but Brave will certainly sell Amazon the info that I shopped at Home Depot looking for discontinued air filters :)

FF fingerprinting with UO and privacy badger are by no means bad, they are actually quite acceptable.

What does privacy badger do that isn't covered by UO? Is it worth it to install privacy badger if I already use a browser like librewolf that nukes all data every time it's restarted?

It's EFF's tracker blocker. All they have is their name, so I have a lot of trust in them. I use it in concert with chrome and firefox based browsers. In FF it tightens up the tracking a bit. Doesn't eat much ram/time.
