Is there a ScriptSafe for Edge? Currently I use Ublock for Edge.

So IMO for effective uBlock0rigin list you can reduce the default blocklist rules (66.9K network rules and 45.1 cosmetic rules = 115K rules) by:

Stick to the default list, but make it leaner:
  • Enable "Ignore generic cosmetic filters" (reduces CPU load)
  • Disable malware filters when you have enabled Google safe Search or Microsoft Smartscreen (you could also add a DNS service with malware blocking like Comodo, Norton, OpenDns or Quad9)
  • This leaves you with 51.4K network and 27.4K cosmetic filters (78.8K total = 68% of default).
  • The benefits for this scenario is that the block rate is nearly the same (99% of the default lists) while resource usage is 30% less. Because the default enabled Easylist blocklists are used, you will still face some website breakage and the occasional anti-adblock wall/pupup.

Switch to "less is more" tactic:
  • Enable "Ignore generic cosmetic filters"
  • Disable all defaults, but enable the wel maintained spyware filter from Adguard
  • Add the also daily cleaned adblock Squidblacklist Blacklist from (thx @ozone: https://www.squidblacklist.org/downloads/sbl-adblock.acl)
  • This leaves you with 10.5 K network and only 104 cosmetic rules
  • These two well curated blocklists will break less website with 85% block rate of full default set with 9% of the resources/rules. I don't notice any difference in regards to blocked advertisements.

Use a "best of both worlds" approach:
  • Ignore generic cosmetic filters AND disable cosmetic filtes (reduces CPU load & filter resources)
  • Disablle all defaults, but enable the wel maintained spyware filter from Adguard
  • Add the wel curated Adguard English filter by cpying this link in the custom section and choose apply changes (English filter from https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/chromium/filters/2.txt)
  • This leaves you with 44.5 K network and zero cosmetic rules (38% of default rules)
  • These two well curated blocklists will break less website while the block rate is not noticeably impacted (95% blockrate of default lists).

By disabling cosmetic filters you mean the parse and enforce cosmetic filters option, right?
From what we know if you disable this option you minimize the ram usage, what other benefits you get performance wise with this option disabled? E.g. less cpu utilization and page load overhead?

cosmetic filtering/element hiding uses a lot more CPU to hide unwanted elements which cannot be blocked by regular rules
if you open a test page full of elements, your PC might be frozen
regular blockrules only use small amount of CPU

disabling it can save some CPU

Other members on this forum advised me to use Nano Adblocker on Edge in stead of uBlock. It is a uBlock fork with additional anti-adbock but gets more updates as uBlock for Edge.

Added imported filters? Custom filters? Have you tried Nano Adblocker in each browser? In Edge it’s a better choice. Probably better option in Chrome which I discarded. Otherwise Iat the moment I have no idea.
