Advice Request Which of the uBlock Origin lists should I keep.

[Morro]

OK, yesterday I added Firefox on a whim, and I must say that FF has improved a lot in my opinion. It seems to be a lot faster than I remember, and the account options are different as well from what I remember. (In a good way I think.)

But I added uBlock Origin, and I imported the last backup I had from uBlock Origin. And … well, I was shocked at all the lists I had in there. I have added three lists from Hagezi, and those I will definitely keep, but I would like some advice on all the lists that are above those three Hagezi lists. Which of the lists from Adguard Dutch and up should I keep, combined with those Hagezi lists?

Hi,

• EasyList – Cookie Notices
• uBlock filters – Cookie Notices

perform better than the AG lists themselves.

• Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN

can be replaced by a setting to be enabled in about:config.

Also consider that network (privacy) filters can be replaced by DNS-level filter lists if necessary.
Cosmetic filtering cannot, at least not completely.

You should enable both EasyList and EasyPrivacy. EasyList is the main adblocking and EasyPrivacy is the main tracker blocking filter. Hagezi filters works great in uBO but they are DNS filter so it's better to use them at DNS level.

I, for one, would appreciate learning about the setting!

"network.lna.blocking" set to true

Thank you all for the advice, so far it has changed to this now.

And thank you Sampei.Nihira, for the setting, I changed it to true.

You made a mistake with the cookie filter lists.
It should be like this:

You could also add this list of custom filters:

Also recommended by Yokoffing.

Thank you for the heads up on the cookie list. As for the url shortener, damn I had that one in use after importing the backup, guess I will add again.


EDIT: Now I should have the right ones.

Looks much like m9ine & it works fine just about all of the time

 

[Morro]

Thank you, with the help here in this thread I got as it is now. How I ever thought that having close to a million filter rules back then is beyond my current mind set.

Oh my god, the slow loading of websites.

Oh my god, the slow loading of websites.

The less, the better.

 

[Morro]

The less, the better.

I agree.

My philosophy is only enable enough to avoid tripping anti-adblock banners. The default uBlock Origin lists and Fanboy lists are enough. Google has blacklisted some Adguard filters but your mileage may vary.

No, you need to re-enable:

• AdGuard URL Tracking Protection

I have:

Fanboy annoyance list works prefectly with adblock plus; however, with uBO (old), it breaks few websites, where I have to disable and replace with Adguard annoyance list.
