[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1054078"] I guess AG put it in initially to offer their customers the old-trusted-known filters on top of their own filters. So yes, that would be a valid explanation. Another guess is that they don't have people looking at third-party filters manually anymore. When they should have checked (like [USER=80838]@Jan Willy[/USER] did) they would have seen it is not maintained anymore. I think they have automated the maintenance and update. As [USER=73194]@South Park[/USER] posted a subset is maintained, so their (automated) update check confirms that it changes from time to time. Also in my [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/which-ubo-filters-2023-do-you-use.122979/page-5#post-1053981']post#94[/URL] I added two links of Brave research. In one of them they also discovered that a substantial part of "old" (5 year old) rules keep blocking stuff. Which means that in their (automated) triggering check they see that some of those block rules still block stuff. As said all guestimates, but this could be the reason it stays in the list. [/QUOTE]
