[QUOTE="Yuki2718, post: 888817, member: 87923"] Well, my territory is so-called AI and I'm aware of the paper even before my participation, in fact shared [URL='https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/i-visited-47-sites-hundreds-of-trackers-followed-me.420258/page-3']here[/URL] in Sept. 2019 - I guess I'm one of few people who read and understand most of papers from Brave. Simply, there's no perceptible, no, statistically significant in milliseconds scale measurements, difference in matching speed by having 500 or 50,000 rules (as far as the rules are efficient), nobody has proven there is, with rigorous and unbiased benchmark. I frankly don't care how others browse (1), all I know is even with medium mode and carefully chosen 100,000 network filters I still see many (2) analytics and trackers slipped through, occasionary even ads (ads tend to be reported to major filters soon as they're often - but not always due to cosmetic filters - visible, analytics & trackers not). I know if I don't use medium mode the slips go way more than tripple. EL + EP + best combination of regional filters are not at all satisfactory (in the above thread I also posted a paper proving this). Whatever mainstream is, as a matter of fact there are quite many sites using circumvention techniques such as SSAI, it's undeniable (just see AG Base for example, some are high-traffic sites) as these are a part of what we're fighting against everyday on uAssets etc. and I myself occasinary find such a site.
