New​

Differential update of filter lists, as a result of discussions at AdguardTeam/FiltersCompiler#192. Resulting spec is here.

The goal is to NOT be ranked among the "most popular projects" by bandwidth usage (as per jsDelivr's public stats):

uBO on Thunderbird's Add-Ons subdomain has not been updated for around 6 months or so at the time of writing.
