[QUOTE="Morro, post: 1048382, member: 1765"] Okay, a few years ago I already tried uBlock Origin, but only in default install mode. So the numbers on the icon had the grey background. But I later decided on using the AdGuard browser extension. Now, this morning a friend told me I should try out the current version of uBlock Origin, and learn how to get more out of the extension. So I installed uBlock Origin and so far I have learned how to set the global rules to block 3rd party iframes and scripts, so uBlock is now in I think Medium mode?. (The number background is now blue.) And I also found out how to unlock those rules for specific websites, by making use of either global or locale rules. (And make sure that I click on save, to keep the rules permanent. :)) These rules were added when I globally blocked 3rd party iframes and scripts? So I am looking to find out if there is still something that I can do in uBlock to improve upon it, without breaking websites? I would also like to ask if I did not over did the blocklists I activated at the moment? [ATTACH type="full"]276954[/ATTACH] I think the total amount of rules from the filter lists comes down to 151.258. I picked the imported lists from the site below. [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists[/URL] It looks like about 98--99% of what I see blocked in my NextDNS logbooks, is from my Smartphone. The rest seems to get blocked now by uBlock Origin? o_O If that is so, then I am impressed. But to continue, any advice and or Tips are welcome. :) [/QUOTE]
