[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1027169"] It is true that static rules are a bit faster than dynamic rules and dynamic rules are a bit faster than cosmetic rules, but it would surprise me that you would notice it. When you are the type of "set and forget" user, using dynamic rules for easy medium is probably the most convenient way to implement this. When you like to switch on hard mode on some websites to further strip them, it is easier to move the 'easy hard mode' or 'easy medium mode' blocking rules to the static rules section. In the picture below EDGE on STRICT seems to miss SEGMENT.COM (there is also a SEGMENT.IO). It is easy for me to block SEGMENT.COM with dynamic rules. I usually keep this dynamic rule for a few weeks and when it does not give me any problems I make it a static rule (1) when I encounter SEGMENT.COM on another website, I experiment with it for a while (does not break website functionality) and add it to my first static rule (2). When I encounter it on a third, I usually make it a generic rule (3) 1 dynamic rule: CNN.COM SEGMENT.COM * BLOCK translates to static rule: ||$*third-party,from=CNN.COM,to=SEGMENT.COM 2.dynamic rule: DOMAIN2.CO.UK SEGMENT.COM * BLOCK translates to static rule: ||$*third-party,from=DOMAIN2.CO.UK,to=SEGMENT.COM 3.dynamic rule: * SEGMENT.COM * BLOCK translates to static rule: ||SEGMENT.COM$third-party [SPOILER="Using dynamci rules to weed out missed 3p"] [ATTACH type="full"]273312[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
