Question Which Ubo filters do you use ?

[SeriousHoax]

Thanks.
I noticed it had been moved to GitFlic.
In the past couple of days, in uBO it looked like it updated automatically to use the GitFlic repository. But a few hours ago, I noticed the filterlist no longer updated, so I installed the filterlist from the new repository and disabled and deleted the old one.

Regarding the move to gitflic.ru, I wondered why.
Someone on Reddit said, it probably also shields from the DMCA takedowns.

Yeah, probably for that reason since it was the same the last time. Since it's been moved to a Russian website now, I guess there will not be such problems anymore unless it bypasses any Russian website's paywall.

BypassPaywallsClean filter list shows as out of date, and its homepage is gone. Cat and mouse game continues.

Update: The subscribe link at yokoffing still works. I simply copied and pasted the updated raw list.

Indeed, as my updated post shows.

The link from filterlists.com is dead.

I am using the default filters from uBO plus smaller custom ones from Yokoffing and Dandelion.

I am also running Medium Mode on uBlock Origin following recommendations from another .

Kees1958 ends his MV2 list by the end of this
year.

Switched from Firefox to Brave. More or less using the same custom filters that I had on uBO.

BTW, this popular adblock testing website has been shutdown. Probably the recent Brave article where they showcased the issue with testing sites like this was the final nail in the coffin for it.
From what I saw, the site creator was always respectful to criticism and tried what he could to fix the issues but those were not enough in the end

I just went to his other tools and he basically archived all of them.

He also archived his mobile web browser, Kiwi. According to Neowin from his Discord server messages.

I read the news yesterday on android authority:

RIP: Kiwi Browser, my favorite web browser on Android, is shutting down

Kiwi Browser is one of the best web browsers on Android, largely due to extension support. Unfortunately, it's now shutting down.

But are you sure that the creator of Kiwi and d3ward are the same people? I see two different names.

My mistake. You were right. The creator of Kiwi is called Arnaud. d3ward was a contributor named Eduard.

@Kees1958 recently changed his EU US ads&tracking networks MV3 filter list to expire in 7 days, so it now updates automatically, unlike previously.

[oldschool]

I recently noticed this at GitHub - Kees1958/W3C_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist: This blocklist is based on published surveys of most used advertising and tracking technology

Note when you use Edge or Firefox build-in tracking protection in strict mode, the added value of this most used list is minimal (since Firefox and Edge, like Peter Lowe also target the advertising networks serving ads). For people using Peter Lowe's list I would either use my list or Peter Low's where US resisdents probably have better blocking results with Peter's list and EU residents will have benefits of the EU ad & tracking networks included in my list.
