What custom uBO filter lists do you use?
Title says it all. Do you use custom filter lists in uBO? If yes: Which ones?
Here are the ones I use:
- Block-EU-Cookie-Shit-List
- Fanboy's Annoyance List
- EFF Cookie Blocklist
- I don't care about cookies
- I'm OK with cookies
- OISD (big)
- PUP Domains Blocklist
Also great website to find many more filter lists: filterlists.com
Defaults as I'm lazy
I actually use adnauseam but it's pretty much the same so:
- Privacy Essentials
- Privacy Extended
- Yokoffing's Annoyance List, Yokoffing's click2load filters
- antipopads:re
- HaGeZi's Pro++ DNS Blocklist
- 1hosts (Lite)
- iam-py-test's Combo List
- oisd big
screenshots of the tests:
took longer than expected
Anything beyond defaults will give you a permanent unique browser fingerprint, as ublock lists are detectable in the DOM
fr?
Dunno. That would mean websites would know what filter lists inside an adblocker browser addon you use, which I can't imagine tbh. But I'd say it's a gamble. With more block lists you can achieve more privacy but maybe (if privacybro is right) fingerprinting you is easier. You decide what is the right choice to make here.
you can see your ublock filter lists on browserleaks.com
How do you add custom filters to ublock?
Open uBO settings > Filter lists > scroll down and click on import > a text box opens where you put the links of your custom filter lists (one per line) > apply changes
I use some of the filters here

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter/main/dist/brave/global.txt removes seo-shit from brave search (replace brave to google or duckduckgo if you use those)
That Paywall bypass filter hasn't removed or bypassed a single paywall for me ever
Me either, I still keep it though
Genuine question, what do you mean by ¨seo-shit" from Brave Search?
Useless sites, copycat sites, everything I really don't even need to see in search results. The one is for brave search, I mostly use it.
