Unless you personally convince all 20 million AdBlock Plus users to convert to uBlock, they wonРІР‚в„ўt see any benefit. There are ~70x as many AdBlock Plus users as there are uBlock users. uBlock Origin: 0.08 million daily users (. AdBlock Plus: 20.3 million daily users (.

Here are the usage stats for these add-ons: IРІР‚в„ўve seen variations on this comment many times in discussions of this post. Even now the question 'Have you disabled your adblocker?' often relevant response to general WTFs during web-development. Found this one when another client complained that his flash-based part of main navigation (supplied by third party studio) does not work.

Back in times this parameter was de facto standard for embedded flash serving as hyperlink to tell it where to link to. 'Block any flash that has `clickthru` parameter.' This rule is still present in aforementioned easylist : `.swf?clickthru=`, but amusingly is very easily avoidable (rule insists that this parameter is first). Even now Easylist inludes many general `adsomething` rules that FMOPW could do many false positives. Our CMS serves static binary data with 'folderized hash paths' where occurrence of `/ad/` is not completely avoidable. (Encountered in certain local block list, not present in such pure form at time of writing.)Р”Р‡ound this one while inspecting bugreport of our client who complained he cannot see some images on his presentation we maintained. 'Block any image on any domain that has `/ad/` in its path.' There are situations when it is difficult or at leas annoying: sometimes blocking rules are too loose that generates false positives. No, uBlock Origin depends on community-driven EasyList/EasyPrivacy, just like many other blockers: ABP, AdBlock, AdGuard, BluHell, Adblock Fast, etc. > uBlock can make all kind of independence claims it wants, but at the end of the day, uBlock is still relying on ABP for its blocking rules So the net result would be less people protected, the complete opposite of the goal I set for uBlock.

Filter lists which lead to site breakage won't be used by a majority of users because the majority of users just want an install and forget approach. If you know filter lists which can accomplish the same protection with the same reliability at not breaking sites, I will be happy to use them in uBlock. Here are the benefits of using EasyList/EasyPrivacy (the 'Easy mode' bar). The 'acceptable ads' fitlers are in a separate list, which is not part of uBlock Origin. Not addressing site breakage would lead to less people using these lists, and thus less people benefiting from the protection they offer (see graph at link below). Whatever whitelisting in EasyList/EasyPrivacy is to address site breakage. EasyList is maintained by ABP's parent companyР”В®asyList/EasyPrivacy are community-driven filter lists.
