@Windows_Security You still recommend Squidblacklist + Adguard Spyware for your "less is more" approach or have you changed the lists for this?

So it seems Disconnect Advertising List (similar to Peter Lowe's) and Better FYI trackers blocklist (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a...rchive/master/Better.fyiTrackersBlocklist.txt) which were filtered to only include .com, .net, .org,. inf domains. This in addition to the sites in dark red ||website.com^ in uBO-companion. This is all in My Filters.@Burrito and @oldschool
Here is the export of my Filter I use with NanoAdblocker on Edge (of Asus Transformer I use for travel).. It contains around 2000 domains from DNT simple Ad-filter and (the Apple app) trackers from Better-FYI. I only contains COM, NET, ORG, INF domains because I started using it along side uBO-companion on Chrome (and I block all javascript on Chrome with exception rules, allowing high level country domains, [*.]com, [*.]inf, {*.]org and [*.] net.
Easy way to work: copy dark RED dains from uBO-companion to uBO my rules RED_DOMAIN * * BLOCK, when it does not break anything, add it amonth later to My Filters as ||RED_DOMAIN^ and remove it from my rules).
I only use My Filters (don't need more with my surfing habits). This covers ads and trackers from Alexa Top100 news sites and Top500 websites.
I run uBlock with third-party blocking. When I do my morning read on news sites or visit websites from my bookmarks, I just disable 3rd-party blocking. The 2K rules will do (you could add the easylist for your country to it).
Spot onSo it seems Disconnect Advertising List (similar to Peter Lowe's) and Better FYI trackers blocklist (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/a...rchive/master/Better.fyiTrackersBlocklist.txt) which were filtered to only include .com, .net, .org,. inf domains.

Also blocking javascript using Chrome from domains other than the above and I assume uses uBlock Origin's Advanced mode to block third-party and noop third-party on a per site basis.
Am I wrong?
@Windows_Security Wouldn't Privacy Badger be similar to the uBo companion app? What does the Better FYI trackers blocklist add to DNT Ads list?

Is actual list used size over apparent list size a good metric of efficiency compared to marginal resource increase versus control over apparent list size? I'd imagine the optimization curves would be different. Ergo, the solution (set of lists) for the former would be different from the latter.UBO-Scope can be used to personalize your blocklists. This extension explains why some well maintained blocklists are so effective (Adguard basic DNS, Disconnect simple ad filter). It costs a lot of money to set up an ad & tracking service with a large infrastructure. In most people's personal webspace, it is very unlikely you will encounter more than 5000 different ad- and tracking services in your entire living life (there is simply no market for more companies offering these services, see for instance Trackers | Better).
So you've changed again around this time?Yep but after more testing also am reasonably satisfied with Peter Low's and MVPS host. When you start to reduce blocklist, effectivity depends on your personal browsing experience. So in hinsight should have posted more explicitely that your mileage may vary depnding on surfing habits. Apologize for that.
The 2000 domain blocklist combined from DNT and FYI work great for me
If by 'optimized' you mean to remove duplicate filters, I believe uBlock already does that.I wish uBlock Origin had optimized filter lists like Adguard.
New Adguard browser extension release: version 2.1If by 'optimized' you mean to remove duplicate filters, I believe uBlock already does that.
> An option to use “optimized” filters
Agree, for plain adblocker I prefer Adguard with optimised filters,I wish uBlock Origin had optimized filter lists like Adguard.
YES on Edge I now use Adguard with optimized filters option and English filtert, on Firefox Avira (which also uses Adguard) and on Chrome Malware Bytes extension.So you've changed again around this time?
Any changes from that time to now?
Please explain further.on Firefox Avira (which also uses Adguard)
using the default settings in both, adguard beats ublock because adguard's english, spyware and annoyance filters are much much better than ublock's basic filters combinePlease explain further.
Are the shorter lists in Adguard better than the supposed efficiency of uBlock Origin or Nano Adblocker with the same longer lists?
