Question Which Ubo filters 2023 do you use ?

[floalma]

Hi friends,

Spoiler

This is an update to a previous thread here about Ubo filters lists.
These are my UBO filter lists.
Any comments or recommendations are welcome.
Thanks you for your contribution.

Firefox with ubo on.

Lost in translation.

You have to test with ublock on first then turn ublock off and test, and then compare scores.

I'm not sure what the good, bad, or ugly is either, but with Brave, no VPN, and straight from my laptop.

So looks like yours is more than 2 times faster than mine, yet, I have no perception that mine is slow or stalling...

Is 205 score bad?
I got 205. Is this bad?

I assume bigger number is better or 3.3 times better (faster) than mine as spec'ed as described above.

There is no general reference in this context--mainly because there are too many software and hardware variables. You compare your own browser's performance with itself--with some parameter on or off. For example: here are my results. Honestly, I expected a more even performance with uBO on vs. off but it is what it is. Windows 10 | Firefox v. 120.0 | Sandboxie | 98,514 network filters | 128,499 cosmetic filters. The images are uBO OFF and ON respectively. I retested several times and the results were the same.
Again, this was just an errant idea to compare the possible effects of an extension. Subjectively, I don't notice anything different with uBO on or off. So take this with a heaping spoonful of your fave seasoning.

it was a good idea -- I turned ubo off and this time I got 55.6 (maybe a lower score is "better" ) or "about the same" / same as you...

In a clean test profile on Firefox 120 with only uBO (95.727 networkfilters, 46.820 cosmetic filters):
Speedometer:

• 107 with uBO on
• 118 with uBO off

(old Haswell i5 PC; 16GB RAM)

 

[JustInTime]

On my Ryzen 5 5600H laptop with hardened Firefox (Arkenfox userjs+overrides); uBO default filterlist + AdGuard Annoyance filters

• With uBO on: 190
• With uBO off: 202

So I don't think one will notice any speed difference even if you have a mediocre cpu of last 3-4 years.

This is what matters more to me than a score on a browser speed test; as long as my browsing speed seems fast enough and hiccup-free, then that's what matters the most.

Does anyone know what happened to the Ublock Origin Resource Abuse list in Built-in? The entry seems to have disappeared.

Has it been integrated into one of the other Ublock lists?

It depends on your surfing habits. You can look through this thread for additional filters that you can test for benefits. You can also check this resource. He offers what I find to be both reliable and sensible options and advice.

Now using Yokoffing's "Pro" Setup, from the link oldschool provided above:

 "selectedFilterLists": [

  ],

nothing used in "user filters". This setup has been working splendidly for me so far

Switched to Easy Mode with FF Strict TP for now with these filters:

Removed Privacy Extended and Lenny Fox's µBO medium mode filters, both no longer updated, replaced with Easy Privacy Optimized list.

I use it as one of the sources for my Grayware Filterlist (link in my profile).
