Troubleshoot AdGuard filter help wanted

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

Want to combine two rules in one rule for all websites

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

Read "How to create your own ad filters" but that's too complicated for me. I couldn't find what I wanted.

For two websites I need to allow ##.o-cookielaw found in AdGuards annoyances filter.

That is done by the wizard (no not me but from AdGuard ) as:

bosch-home.nl#@#.o-cookielaw
neff-home.com#@#.o-cookielaw

How do I combine that in one rule, for all websites?

Why not uncheck the 'naughty' rules in the filter list?

Why not uncheck the 'naughty' rules in the filter list?

That's not possible with the extension.

That's not possible with the extension.

Sorry, I didn't know. I use Adguard for Windows. And unblocking in the log?

Yes, that works, but then I get two rules, a rule for evey site where I whitelist that and I want to know how to make one rule to allow it for all sites.
Like ^ at the end of a rule.
I don't think #@#.o-cookielaw is enough.
Probably I need to add something in front of that rule to allow it for all sites.

According to How to create your own ad filters | AdGuard Knowledgebase

I think just #@#.o-cookielaw would suffice for a global rule or #@$# for CSS selection (allow) scroll down a bit further.

When I remember Yuki's critique (or better tips) on my rules correctly, as long as you use domain names, it does not matter a lot performance wise whether you write it in a single rule or combine them as shown above. When you look at Easylist and Adguard filters, it seems best practice to combine them in a single rule.

UBlockOrigin has an option to exclude generic rules and disable cosmetic filtering both for performance reasons, so my guess is that generic cosmetic filters should be kept to a minimum (performance wise). So my advice is not to use a generic exception rule (but use AG's really good rule wizzard for each website you encounter the problem).

... so my guess is that generic cosmetic filters should be kept to a minimum (performance wise).

For a few weeks I use only a segment of Adguard Annoyances Filter. I don't really miss everything else of the list. The segment concerns anti-adblock rules. Source of this segment with 2170 rules: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/A...ter/AnnoyancesFilter/sections/antiadblock.txt

@Jan Willy

Nice idea, I will have a look at the AdGuard GitHub filters to see whether I can reduce the rule count without noticeable function degrading.

bosch-home.nl,neff-home.com#@#.o-cookielaw works great but going back to uBlock Origin with the option to exclude generic cosmetic filters solves all problems without any rule to add. Thank you all for your replies, much appreciated
