filterlists VS blacklist

Check out yokoffing's uBO filter lists. Specifically #2 "click2load" which does exactly what you're seeking. Making auto play content click to load.

Pro++ blocked almost 10% more than Pro due to its inclusion of more lists, including my own (thanks Gerd!).

I have some suggestions here.

and for privacy, use Recommended Filters for uBlock Origin.

https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists Fanboy’s Annoyance also contains EasyList Cookie List which blocks GDPR overlay windows and other privacy-related notices

Enable most of the default ones, use DNS filtering. I use Cloudflare DNS. And for some third-party filters you can load, I recommend Steven Black hosts, OISD blocklists, Developer Dan hosts and AnudeepND Blacklist.

It was definitely worth buying adguard for me + it supported ios and macos which i use as well. As for as blocking - both blokada/adguard provides default list, based on what you want in addition you can add blocklist source to those apps. Example - https://github.com/anudeepND/blacklist/blob/master/facebook.txt

Your list needs to be updated regularly. Like /u/Rendered_Pixels said, it can't magically sniff out ads, so you'll need to keep your list of blacklisted domains up-to-date. With a little bit of scripting, you can automate this process by pulling from a curated list like this one.

I know there are several hosts files out there with lists of domains to block (such as https://github.com/anudeepND/blacklist or https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists), but I'm looking for something different.
