Thanks for posting this! I installed privacy badger and modified my user agent as a result of the test. Very helpful insight that I didn’t have before.

privacy badger is outdated though, not needed anymore if you have ublock origin

I have ublock origin and failed the tracker checks without privacy badger.

hm, mine is on medium mode so it blocks 3rd party scripts, maybe it's that? do whatever works for you
