µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

You're using default filters, which is by no means overkill.

Decreasing your filters isn't warranted because these aren't making your browsing slower. You may disable cosmetic filtering globally (parse/enforce cosmetic filters > Unchecked) and this will reduce the number considerably, and you may or may not notice less efficiently clean web pages - depending on your browsing habits.

 

ditto.

 

I don't need those lists in fact my personal lists cover more than those you use.
Below is an example of my lists to make up for the lack of EasyList:

https://github.com/Kees1958/W3C_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/ExtremelyCondensedList.txt

I can make a similar comparison for my privacy lists.

 

it's down to 9900 now.

 

10037 rules now.

 

I always leave the malware list domains.

I have included a new phishing list for testing.
It has less rules than "Army" and it's also based on OpenPhish:

https://curben.gitlab.io/phishing-filter-mirror/phishing-filter-domains.txt

 

Do you mean "Malware Domain List" and/or "Malware Domains"?
Both are not maintained any more...
See https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1116

https://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt is empty now.

Or do you mean:
https://gitlab.com/curben/urlhaus-filter#domain-based ?

 

"Online Malicious Domains Blocklist".
Which I have already subscribed to and highlighted in previous topics in this thread.

With the new anti-phishing list the protection is more than enough for my needs.

My current filters:

40.426 network filters ＋ 27.764 cosmetic filters

 

Here:
169.195 network filters ＋ 126.558 cosmetic filters.
uBO using only 10.6 MB (2 YouTube tabs and 16 other tabs):

so you took out army? and replaced with this?

 

UBO must always read the rules it has to manage.
You'll agree with me that managing a list of nearly 300,000 rules versus a list of 68,000 rules causes some extension response delay.
This delay is certainly greater in older hardware and slow processors.

And Raymond Hill can do as many benchmarks as he wants, but that's the reality.

 

Code:

! The Most Abused Top Level Domains
! https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/
||*.rest^$all
||*.gq^$all
||*.work^$all
||*.tk^$all
||*.ml^$all
||*.viajes^$all
||*.casa^$all
||*.london^$all
||*.cf^$all
||*.fail^$all
||*.surf^$all
||*.ga^$all
||*.cam^$all
||*.exposed^$all

The fourteenth domain in the list (london) also has a respectable score of 2.32

 

Sure, "reading 300,000 rules vs 68,000 rules" would be something to worry about with a naive and/or flawed understanding of how uBO works internally.

The reality of course is that uBO does not need to read 300,000 or 68,000 rules to find out whether a single filter matches.

It needs to read only those rules which have at least one chance to match, and for those which have a chance to match, it can evaluate them in a way where many filters are tested at once (it's called a trie data structure).

So in the end what you get is not "300,000 vs. 68,000" but conceptually something like "log2 300,000 vs. log2 68,000", which is "18.2 vs. 16.1" -- quite a lesser difference, and that is what the benchmark results demonstrate.

 

Thank you for your interesting explanation.

When I was much younger than now, and I attended the high school I wrote two software, if I remember correctly in Basic (if I remember correctly) for the calculation of large prime numbers, and the dilation of time to the approximation of the speed of light.
On MS-DOS PCs I solved the problem of calculation speed with logarithmic scales *****
Probably today 40 years have passed since those experiences as a student.
You made me remember something that I had almost forgotten.

P.S. The rules I use fully meet my needs.


***** = Thanks to my slide rule.



I also photographed the instrument upside down.....

 

I think you should stop the largest/lowest contest here, not helpful and not relevant. IMO contests in general are not really appreciated here. And gorhill pointed out that it is utter waste of time.

you better focus on lists and its news like the example above of an empty list.

This thread for months now has become more of a: "what filter lists are you using", and how some are modifying them. What seems to be largely overlooked is at how easily a typical drive-by attack can be stopped dead by enabling, for example, only 3rd-party frames filtering (Enhanced Easy mode).

I was wondering if someone can give me a hand of help. My mother visits a site https://filoitexnisfilosofias.com/ and ublock does not load it. You see a loading circle. If you stop ublock then the site loads. I took a quick look on the logger and i do not see anything quickly. Anybody has an idea?

 

If Advanced mode is enabled, you should be able to just noop (click inside cell to make it dark gray) filoitexnisfilosofia.com.

 

I would say that following settings are vital for that page

Code:

fonts.googleapis.com allow
gstatic.com allow
fonts.gstatic.com allow
wp.com noop

WP/wordpress for some structure, the rest for fonts. gstatic is NOT bad.

 

This does not work for me? How is this possible?

 

First question: is the "I am an advanced user" checkbox enabled under Settings?

 

Yes of course it is

 

Interesting. It's blocked on my end now, even after I Nooped both 3rd-party filters and 3rd-party frames. I seem to have narrowed it down to a Peter lowe's filter causing the issue for googlesydication.com. Please try this filter in the "My filters" dashboard.

Code:

@@||pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/*$script,domain=filoitexnisfilosofias.com

Its working for me.

You may also want to check out @Brummelchen 's post #5092. Try not to "Allow" domains. Using Noop is better, as it retains ad blocking, only allowing dynamic filtering such as 3rd-party scripts and frames.

EDIT

This site is really difficult at best. I found I had to "Allow" google.ca and google.com to get it to render consistently, otherwise it won't render on a subsequent attempts.
