    This list can be used on all the other common ad blockers too, but they have their own settings page that I won't get into detail about. If you don't know about uBlock Origin, you might consider switching to it as it's GPL-licensed and is faster and lighter on resources than other ad blockers.

  • Issue with Filters in Germany
    1 project | /r/uBlockOrigin | 28 Sep 2023
    You mean the VG Wort METIS tracking in order to participate in the German royalty scheme? From a publisher perspective that tracking is necessary, but from a user perspective it's just another example of third party tracking. Thus, it is part of some filterlists that uBlock Origin users can subscribe to, for example the EasyPrivacy list. Talking to the filterlist authors is very unlikely to resolve this: after all, it is tracking, regardless of intention.

  • uBlockOrigin/uAssets vs EasyList for reporting new ads
    2 projects | /r/uBlockOrigin | 8 Jul 2023
    If I have noticed a new ad, to which list should I report a filter issue? Should I report the new advertisement to the issue tracker at uBlockOrigin/uAssets, or should it be reported to EasyList instead?
