[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 864124, member: 82776"] DuckDuckGo tracker-radar has under 6000 domains listed Disconnect simple ad filter and Peter Low's list have just over 3000 ad&tracking server domains listed. Ghostery has in default setting just over 3000 and in maximum setting just under 5000 domains blacklisted, These numbers are illustrative that there are not an unlimited number of ad&tracking domains. As shown earlier the number three largest ad&tracking network in the world has less network traffic than the amazon.com website. Google has (depending on different reports) 40 to 60 percent of the market, Facebook (depending on different reports) 20 to 30 percent and number three has in most reports less than 3% market share. Number 200 probably has a market share of under 1 percent, meaning you have a small chance of ever encountering it while surfing. Because small ad&tracking networks are missed by most block lists, those niche players will continue to exists serving websites not in Alexa top500000 (more than 2000 visitors per day). The picture below shows the progressive reducing value (benefits in terms of blocking) by adding more rules to the blocklist. The second row is the number of block rules used. The column ultimate uses the Ultimate pack of the energized.pro website and the Top500 uses the Kees1958 github Top500 experimenal list (@ Oldschool no, I am not :) ) . Domains is the number of domains connecting out. Yes the blocklist with nearly a million rules wins, but at a price (video's not playing in red). uBlockOrigin in default is as good as the Top500 list and only throws one please-support-us-disable-your-adblocker prompt (in yellow).
