[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 888610, member: 82776"] [B][SIZE=4]RE number of rules don't impact speed[/SIZE][/B] Yuki thanks for helping with optimizing my filters on Github, but the above is a load of (I will censor this myself). Select cases, SQL-queries, regular expression even AI inversion engines take more time when evaluating more instances or occurrences. I respect your opinion and experience in writing filters, but what you are telling is simply not true. I agree that less rules cause less FP's and "disable your adblocker prompts", but the main reason for having less rules is that there are just not an infinitive number of advertising networks. I refer to the academic research mentioned in the thread adblocking innovation on this forum. With computational power increasing with every new CPU launched, the performance argument is not relevant, the argument that there are simply not that many advertising and tracking networks is much more relevant. [B][SIZE=4]Re HTTP less relevant[/SIZE][/B] Yes because browsers are blocking HTTP websites malware authors are moving to HTTPS. But when you have a look at the latest Open-DSN reports it is still beneficial to block scripts and (i)frames to third-party content when your region (e.g. like me in NL) is converted for 99,99% to HTTPS websites When reading DNS-report you are right, there is a big increase of malware on HTTPS, but an increase from 5% to 11% in the the last year means I still block 89% of the malicious HTTP websites when blocking third party active HTTP content, I promiss you when it increases from 11% to over 50% I will remove the rule ||HTTP://*$third-party,~stylesheet,~image,~media ;) [/QUOTE]
