[QUOTE="Jan Willy, post: 1053994, member: 80838"] Quite some time ago I've tested uBO with and without it's own filterlists on several notorious tracking sites, such as cnn.com. My conclusion was that uBO's own lists didn't add something to the results I achieved with my custom lists as shown in [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/which-ubo-filters-2023-do-you-use.122979/post-1039878']Question - Which Ubo filters 2023 do you use ?[/URL] This morning I repeated the test (only) on cnn.com. Blocked elements without uBO's own lists 8 (19%) and with uBO's own lists 7 (17%)! In both cases 5 domains were blocked. Neutering tracking scripts to prevent breakage (as remarked by South Park in post #91) could be the cause of the lack of effectiveness of uBO's own lists. My testing was rather limited. Maybe someone tested more extensive and achieved better results. Edit: Connected domains without uBO's own filters 4 out of 9 with uBO's own filters 3 out of 8 So in both cases 5 blocked. It's not my intension to start a competition to figure out which filterlists do the best job on cnn.com. [/QUOTE]
