[QUOTE="JasonUK, post: 913360, member: 86995"] Okay I'm officially driving myself nuts :) I've been through a phase of combining uBlock Origin+Privacy Badger+HTTPS Everywhere+Decentraleyes+ClearUrls but reading through the numerous threads, the changes to PB, question marks over whether Decentraleyes adds anything and switching to Brave (I also use Firefox) led me to question whether less would in fact be more! For Brave I've ditched all the extensions listed above as it has HTTPS & a decent adblocker inbuilt only adding AdGuard with stealth filters to the mix which blocks a surprising number of items even with Brave in 'aggressive' mode ~ uBlock Origin with default settings by contrast blocked nothing on Brave. My only niggle is that it's difficult to see exactly whats being blocked with AdGuard and uBlock is far easier to customise for a specific website, in short I like AdGuard's apparent performance but with uBlocks UI! My question is whether uBlock Origin, perhaps with ClearUrls, can match AdGuard by applying AdGuard's filters in uBlocks' filter list? Would they produce comparable performance with uBlocks better interface? I don't use AdGuard's phishing protection but is there anything else I'd be missing that's important? The AdGuard filters on uBlock say they're 'out of date' too which is another question mark. Any input/insight would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
