[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 895726, member: 82776"] Corona isolation policies probably triggered a "I want to control things" emotion in me, causing me to use uBlockOrigin again and manually optimizing stuff. As often with emotions, this need faded away and tipped towards the "why bother at all" scale after a few months. So my "why bother at all" adblocking strategy now is using a DNS service which also blocks advertisements (Next DNS or Adguar DNS) and using two Edge profiles one with Strict Tracking Prevention (and most site permissions on block) and one on default (for banking, booking and buying) Microsoft Edge allows you to edit the OTHER block list. All domains entered will be blocked, see picture [ATTACH type="full" alt="1595601878953.png"]244556[/ATTACH] I was using Adguard DNS and posted that itworked okay 99% of the time but occasionally blocked a little to much. A MT-member advised me to try Next DNS and it really works well. When I disable Edge tracking prevention I don't see advertisements on the websites I use to visit. With uBlock-scope I noticed that Next DNS allows some third-party trackers which Edge blocks in strict mode. That is why I am also using Edge tracking protection. Next DNS is free up to 300.000 queries per month. P.S. I am not using uBlockOrigin anymore, only using uBlock-scope to monitor third-party exposure. After one month I only added 10 additional domains in Edge "Other", so after writing this post I will remove uBO-scope also (it really is a neat tool to measure 3p-exposure). So my extensions (on Edge) are limited to: - Blank Tab (only runs on New Tab) - Adblock for Youtube (only allowed to run on youtube.com) [/QUOTE]
