[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 967820, member: 78686"] Actually, that's how it initially started, but since then a lot has changed. Adguard creates their filters keeping their own products in mind and certain Adguard filters may not work on uBlock Origin while the same won't be the case for EasyList. thehackernews website was showing an ad on uBlock Origin with all Adguard's filters enabled. The ad were not showing in Adguard's own extension and uBlock Origin with EasyList filters. The particular ad was blocked on Adgaurd with an AG specific rule which is not supported by uBlock Origin and EasyList was using ABP's rule to block that ad on uBlock Origin. This happened more than a year ago, and I don't know what has changed since then, but this is just an example that using only Adgaurd's filters on uBlock Origin isn't a good idea. But like I said, I don't know how things have changed with uBlock Origin since then regarding supporting Adguard syntax and other things. I don't properly understand this either, so the expert [USER=92963]@Kees1958[/USER] would know. [/QUOTE]
