Badness enumeration cannot provide any privacy guarantee and should not be relied upon against real threat actors. While things like ad blockers may help block the low hanging fruits that is common tracking domains, they are trivially bypassed by just using a new domain that is not on common blacklists, or proxying third-party tracking code on the first part domain. Likewise, antivirus software may help you quickly detect common malware with known signatures, but they can never fully protect you from said threat.

Another thing to keep in mind is that open-source software is not automatically private or secure. Malicious code can be sneaked into the package by the developer of the project, contributors, library developers or the person who compile the code. Beyond that, sometimes, a piece of open-source software may have worse security properties than its proprietary counterpart. An example of this would be traditional Linux desktops lacking verified boot, system integrity protection, or a full system access control for apps when compared to macOS. When doing threat modeling, it is vital that you evaluate the privacy and security properties of each piece of software being used, rather than just blindly trusting it because it is open-source.
