[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 917146, member: 82776"] I just checked on my Desktop: uBO with [URL='https://github.com/Kees1958/W3C_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist/blob/master/TOP_EU_US_Ads_Trackers_ABP']TOP_EU_US_ads_trackers[/URL] only the total percentage blocked is 14 percent, On my girlfriends laptop with uBO - no cosmetic filtering - and only Optimized filters (Easy List+Privacy and AG Annoyances) 15 percent. I have to say I only surf to a limited number of websites, so the optimized filters have been challenged more. I checkd a few times and these results are pretty consistent (optimized with variable browsing scores a littlie better than routine browsing using smart lists) Considering the fact that my browsing has much routine an my girlfriend's surfing is much more diversed, I am inclined to say that the use of optimized filters combined with your local language filter when available provides the best results. I cant imagine that Microsoft would use a below average performing tracking protection (when the battle of the browsers is so importance in terms of marketing money), so I would say Optimized filters with your local language filter score best, and a blocklist with less than 5000 rules (e.g. Kees1958, Ghostery, Disconnect, FYI, Peter Low's) performs (nearly) as good as people using half a million rules. When you don't have a medium to premium CPU with a fast SSD-card, using half a million rules will take half a second longer start time of your browser (because the rules have to be read and indexed/tokenized by the extension). So for me with my old i7-950 and 'traditional' SSD drives it still has performance benefits to use a small list like Top-EU-EU-ads-trackers. [/QUOTE]
