    Thanks, I have four AG lists for a while now. They're a mainstay. :) No issues to justify changing things right now.

    dont try again, you wont be able to have success. why? i tried same some month ago because there was mismatch on some other page and i investigated into fontawesome. no way. thats why i advised you to forget it and to screw it. source is legit and i wrote you why.

    His main point is to use well known filter lists and disable cosmetic filtering, enabling it for most often visited sites, the latter of which was actually the uBlockO developer's solution. He also suggests it could become a tin foil hat topic in security forums.

    I tried an easylist Italy (minified) to see if it would update and it does, but it only shows 107 entries as compared to 6,894 shown in your image. I'm wondering why there's such a big difference.

    Probably because the other rules are included in other lists you use.

    I basically use the same filters as you. Would you mind posting the url you have for Easylist Italy (minified)?
    I'd be interested to see if it changes anything here.

    no non lo faccio. :)
    Your link updates correctly. Mine was the same, but the file type in my url ended with .tpl. :(
    The minified country I want to use also updates correctly now. Thanks ....

    But if you are not Italian, why use that list? :confused:

    I don't use your list and have since removed it. I only tried it to find out what my problem was since I could see in your mage that you had many more entries than I was getting.;)

    Just curious: anyone ever get more than 1000 domains blocked on a single web-page? Here is one, 1037 to be exact. On? Yep, it's Yahoo. I thought that was an incredibly large number but any times there was an even larger number?. Sharing is caring. :-*

    Can't say I have seen that many but I do remember in the past if I visited Android Central with uBlock enabled that 1 single tab in Firefox consumed 4.5 GB of RAM. With it off it was less than 1 GB for some reason. That no longer occurs on that site so you can't duplicate it now.

    I navigated many different links in yahoo.com, and 117 blocks was the most I could get. What Blocking mode are you using? I use Hard mode.

    I don't use any mode in uBO. Only additional setting I have so far is to block third party fonts. So far, all has been well. But I'm watching the manifest v.3 clouds loom on the horizon. I may revisit the various modes at a later time. :cautious:

    Yeah, I think I've seen the >1k @ YouTube at times. The longer I'm there the higher the count.

    Yes, I've seen similar on Youtube and Google Maps after using them for some time.

    I always find it (yes they just cram trackers) senseless the mere amount of those these sites let in and some gum up to the point of almost a malware-type defacing of reasonable relevant content

    Over 1000 trackers blocked within a minute is normal on Twitter because of how the page auto-scrolls.

    I see uBO getting updated, but did uBO legacy version update stop. Last version I've seen
    is 1.16.4.30 and that was some time ago.

    guess that the legacy is not concerned from the latest updates?
