Which adblock filters do you use?

[ninaholic37]

I was using uBlock, then was trying Adblock Edge, which still seemed fast enough and blocked the same visual ads, but I eventually noticed that it wasn't catching everything else uBlock was.

I researched their default filter list and figured out why:

uBlock:
- EasyList
- Peter Lowe's Adservers
- EasyPrivacy
- Malware domains

Adblock Edge:
- EasyList

EasyPrivacy was the one that was missing in Adblock Edge I noticed on websites, and added, but I wonder about the other two, if adding them also is worth the potential performance hit? What filters do you guys use, or do you just stick with whatever the defaults are that come with your ad blocker?

I only added EasyList because i was told that would remove ads in YouTube vids.
I see Adblock Warning Removal List is in there too. Must of been added automatically.

Best One is AdBlock Plus. No tension.

Cool list berryracer.

I ended up adding all 4 of the filters listed from uBlock into Adblock Edge. The only one I haven't encountered yet is any Malware domains, maybe I'm just lucky (Peter Lowe's Adservers seem to catch a few from Google that EasyList misses). When I was trying to press Ctrl-Shift-V to paste something without formatting, I noticed that this key combo actually pulls the list of what Adblock has blocked on the current page, which is pretty fun to look at. Only reason I'm using Adblock Edge is because this "image" has Firefox 17ESR (couldn't find a version of uBlock that was compatible) and I don't feel like remastering the image or making a huge "difference" file with a higher Firefox version yet, as I'm just using it casually.

You don't have to worry about this with uBlock. It's also worth noting that uBlock will block the EXACT SAME STUFF as ABP provided they're using the exact same filter lists. If there is a difference it's a bug and should be reported.

Basically what I'm trying to say is there's no reason to still be using ABP and company (Adblock Edge included). Just use uBlock.

I used FoolDNS before, but got sick of the FP's which are very difficult to fix (you need to request whitelisting via a business account).

Now, it depends on my device: uBlock for Windows/Chrome OS/elementary OS, AdAway for rooted Android, FilterProxy for stock Android, and Light Untrusted Hosts Blocker for iOS.

Been using uBlock as of late. uBlock Origin gave me problems. Here's my list. malware domains are on in all the computers. I notice that with uBlock in the netbook the browser loads faster and runs faster than when I had ADblock Edge.

With uBlock I added the Facebook Annoyances list under My Filters in a line on its own and applied the changes but it doesn't work:

that's why I went back to ABP, I can't stand that Facebook sidebar on the right which suggest me pages and stuff like friends I may want to add.
