uBlock0 is available on all major browsers (Chrome and Chrome variants, Firefox and Edge) and since recently some of the best Adguard filters are included as standard options. With the "Custom" option it was already possible to add the best maintained filterlist of Adguard and Disconnect, but now they are just a click away from using.
With Microsoft smartscreen or Google safe browsing, most of malware community filter lists are redundant (they contain a lot of dead wood, meaning they contain a lot of links to URLs which already abandoned/dead). Therefor I use a minimal list. (but there as many opinions on this as there are MalwareTips forum members )
My "less is more" list
1. uBlock filters - Expiremental (contains redirects in stead of blocks)
2. Adguard - Base Filters
3. Adguard - Spyware Filters
4. Peter's Low Add and tracking filter list (or add Disconnect simple ad filter, which contains 95% the same)
I disable cosmetic filtering, so with 'only' 12.5 thousend filters, you have a great balance between usability, blocking and performance.
Note: you can fine tune pop-up blocking using the "copy" icon (most left icon at the bottom).
