• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not needed if FF blocks all 3rd party cookies outright. Privacy Badger was supposed to autodetect which 3rd party cookies were used to track you, there's no point if they're all blocked.

If you have sites that need 3rd party cookies to work please note you can add exceptions in FF settings. I've seen instructions telling people to disable tracking protection altogether in that case but that's a terrible idea.
