[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 843373, member: 82776"] @Vacineboy You should ask the researches, the study also provides clues based on technology used, let me recap for you. 1 The two adBlockers with highest numbers of users using AdBlockPlus syntax based content blocking engine using community gathered bottem-up lists as input 2. The two adblockers with highest number of users using their own filtering engine with their own top-down determined blocklist 3. Privacy Badger using a heuristics based filtering engine supported by their own top-down determined black and grey list with option for users to add trackers themselves. The latest Ghostery also applies heuristics to find unlisted trackers so with today;s technology Ghostery would probably be in the same category as Privacy badger. The study was conducted in 2017,When they would repeat the study today I am sure they would also include Adguard because it uses AdBlockPlus syntax based blocking engine with its own (brute force) blocklist which started as copies of the Easylist community based bottem-up filters. AdBlock or Adblocker ultimate when they use the same ABP syntax based blocking engine with the same community based bottem-up filters should score identical results (as for AdBlockPlus), so that would not provide any additional insights. I think the take way is that smaller blocklists are surprisingly effective when you count the number of third-party requests (no matter whether the extension calls itself a content blocker, adblocker or privacy). So when Google's Manifest 3 limits the number of rules to 30.000 that is not the problem, the problem is that the API will be highly limited (probably killing most of the advanced blocking options like CSS manipulation, Scriptlet injection, websocket and xmltHHTPrequest monitoring etc). That is why Adguard desktop user with lifetime licenses are pulling a long nose to the extension users and some Chrome users are evaluating Brave, Opera and Edge-chromium as alternatives to Google's Chrome.
