Hello everyone

Can I use more than 1 add blocker, because once I installed UBlock Origin, I realized I already had an add blocker installed which was not as good as UBlock Origin

In my opinion you can use multiple ad blocker.
You need to have enough RAM and processing power to use them.

Hey @taga :)
I agree with @Inkurax
I also have uBlock Origin....
Additional Filter Lists can be selected/added to uBlock Origin,including those by Adguard and Disconnect.
The main resource for these lists is @ Lists · FilterLists

@Logethica
Thanks for posting the link to " FilterLists " .
That is a very useful site !
I've been using uBlock Origin for years and never knew :)

@Myriad
You are very welcome,my friend :)
"FilterLists" is quite new....
The Initial Site Launch was on February 16th of this year.

I advise anyone interested in adding "numerous" extra filter lists to do so maybe 2 at a time and then check their impact on "page breakage","browser slowdown",& "specific site access denial"..
Some filters can "possibly" cause "issues",such as the "GNU" Lists.

No reason at all to use more than 2 adblockers.

They have same filter, blocking will post same result and performance may only suffered as you browse.

Although in reality that it cannot lead to unbootable system, however the idea and practicality goes only on being paranoia instead.

I use 2 adblockers with ease... Custom hosts (System wide adblocking) + Ublock Origin (limited to browsers) 3 if you want to add peerblock ads lists ;)

You can use two, three or a hundred of adblockers, but they will conflict with each other, and the speed of browsing will decrease noticeably. There's no need for this, just use one good adblocker. Personally I've never encountered the ad that can bypass the ABP.
