DDG Privacy Essentials provides a Duck address. Privacy Badger is dynamic — it learns over time which domains are tracking you, while uBlock Origin uses filter lists. uBlock Origin can block CDNs, but it does not serve local copies like Decentraleyes does. "I still don't care about cookies" specifically auto-accepts or hides cookie banners legally in a way uBlock Origin doesn't always handle. uBlock Origin blocks Facebook trackers (pixels, etc.) outside Facebook.com, but Facebook Container actually isolates your Facebook session inside a separate "container" (sandbox) so it can't track you across other tabs. It's true that most browsers now have an "Always upgrade to HTTPS" option. I've been using this for a long time, so it doesn't hurt to keep the extension either.
If you have uBlock Origin you don't need DDG Privacy Essentials, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and probably the same for I still don't care about cookies and Facebook Container :) HTTPS Everywhere can now be activated in almost any browser settings without requiring an extension, yes including on Firefox.
