Advice Request AdGuard for Windows vs uBo

[Deletedmessiah]

For phone I use Nextdns. Adguard dns is also good.

Why don't you like rule-based blocking?

The rules I showed, are too strict and often need whitelisting. I prefer well balanced filterlists, especially the optimized Adguard filters and Kees1958 filter. The only rule I would use as a kind of backstop is: ||*^$domain=~com|~inf|~io|~ms|~net|~nl|~org,script,third-party (I admit it is rather amateurish)
In this rule is 'nl' the tld-extension of my country.

I'm sorry, but I wrote "kind of disadvantage" so easier to understand as no real fact
My intention was nothing like to bash Adguard. Honestly, long time ago, I have been purchased a lifetime of Adguard (3 devices) but prefer using on mobile only these days.

Ok I just understood it the other way around and found it confusing (for me)

I have a problem with adguard for pc, it has peaks of high CPU consumption when downloading large files.

I'm not sure if this uBlock Origin Suggested Settings – 12Bytes.org was yet posted ?
Are these settings really good for improving µBlock ?

I think they recommend too many 'annoyances' filterlists which would cause breakage of social media. I would stick with the default uBO settings and lists, adding just uBO Annoyances, the malware and phishing lists (if you don't use a malware-blocking DNS), and Fanboy Cookie list if you find cookie notices are irritating. Feel free to add my very small Grayware Blocklist too, at Filterlist/Filterlist.txt at master · VernonStow/Filterlist

Thanks @South Park
Grayware Blocklist just added
For cookies you mean "EasyList Cookie" ?

So what do you guys use to circumvent "Adblock detected" messages on websites. I did try uBlock filters-Annoyances before, but it doesn't seem to work.

Can you post the site/sites url?

Nope, better use Next DNS, quad9, Cloudflare family (1.1.12) for bad URL protection. Always disable these tiny filters (compared to the blocklists at DNS level) with a useless update interval. When you are not using Next DNS* and living in Europe or North America you could add my bad domain blocklist (top level domains often used by Scamware, Phising and Malware)

* Next DNS has an option to block TLD's with bad reputation and non-latin character TLD's

You could try to disable javascript for that website (but that only displays static content, no videos or clips).

+1 for uBlock Origin, because it is easier to add Custom Lists at Once
compare with AdGuard for Windows.
