Mullvad switching to Quad9

[Parkinsond]

That's odd, because of Hagazi's own github site it says "Brave (aggressive mode only),"

I know; I have read; but I have tested myselft.
Even in normal mode of Brave shields, adding hagezi pro list prevents scripts from loading which initiate pop up blockers.
Also adding hagezi pro dns in Brave settings do the trick.
Without both, Brave shields with all built-in lists enabled and on aggressive mode fails to stop those scripts; only AG and uBOL can stop them without the help of hagezi.

It´s interesting, because AI says Control D Ads & Tracking is lighter and better for set and forget family use, while Hagezi Pro Plus is much more aggressive and better for a single power user. Yet the false positives are on Ads & Tracking

I didn't like the idea of using a third-party blocklist like Hagazi's at first, even though many forum members recommended it. However, after testing it, I found that it was the only blocklist—other than uBlock Origin (not Lite)—capable of blocking ads hidden under overlays on Arabic streaming websites. Now, I rely primarily on Hagazi's blocklists. I started with "Pro" and have since switched to "Pro Plus," and I haven't encountered any false positives yet.

Ahhh dang. use Mullvad DNS too. Sad but probably more to trouble than it's worth. Time to fire up NextDNS at the system level now with Mv2 being dead in Chrome.

I use uBOL on Edge/Chrome and Brave shields on Brave.
I website reported by a Redditor detecting uBOL and displaying warning to disable was my testing sample.
uBOL could not get rid of with all default filters, after adding annoyance filters, and even after escalating to complete mode.
The applies to Brave shields with all filters and aggressive mode.
To my surprise, AG with only ad filters (no trackers filter) and annoyance filters, could remove the warning and display the underlying page.

No, I have tested on drama piracy 5 websites; it works even in normal mode.

The difference between standard and strict is standard blocks third-party ads and trackers only, while strict blocks first and third-party ads and trackers. Hagezi recommends strict because it blocks ads better.

I used Energized blocklists until one day they just disappeared without explanation. For quite a few years I didn't use anything other than regular ad block filters. Then a year ago I stumbled upon Hagezi blocklists and started testing them. It's so good I simply decided to stick with it. Started with Ultimate, then went down to Pro++ because Ultimate was blocking too much for my taste. We also need to mention how transparent Gerd is regarding his blocklists and how quickly he responds in case of issues.
