I would suggest Privacy Badger nowadays (as a complement to the irreplaceable uBlock origin).

Does Privacy Badger do something that uBlock Origin does not?

Instead of having built in lists, it dynamically tries to track the trackers and block domains/cookies it thinks are trying to track you.

They have different purposes. Privacy Badger is not there to block all ads; it exists to block trackers.

For websites I like, I turn off uBlock Origin but leave Privacy Badger enabled.

Have you been able to compare that with latest Firefox's native tracker blocker?

So far to me that's been pretty good to the point I stopped using Privacy Badger (which I agree is pretty good too!).

Not really. uBo devs recommend having only one blocker in place to reduce chances of issues/breakage occurring.

Consider using Privacy Possum instead of Privacy Badger. It's a bit more thorough.
