Sources for Adblock Latitude Blocklists?

Unread post by noellarkin » 2023-01-02, 16:14

I just installed Adblock Latitude. I have found some lists on GitHub but most of those are hostblock lists, I'm not sure if that's the same as the format used for the Adblock plugins. I was wondering where I may get additional blocklists for it.
I found these links:
https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions
https://filterlists.com/
but there are many, many lists here - - how does one decide an appropriate number of filter lists?

I guess you use what works for what you're looking to block.
How's that for an answer ;-).

Perhaps the default list is sufficient.
If so, you're done.

Then, how do you know?
Well, you probably don't know. (Nor would I know.)
So with that, you take what has been given (by virtue of using a list that you basically have no understanding of what it does) - hoping that it "works" :-).

uBlock Origin (legacy), looks to load; built-in filters, EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Online Malicious URL BLocklist & Peter Lowe's Ad and tracking server list.
Now is that too much or too little, or are these already covered in Adblock Latitude's default listing - got me?

So go with what's there, & if it's isn't doing "enough", if you can determine what "enough" is, then go on to seek more.


Hosts lists would be different, I'd think (at least the work on a different concept, & are formatted & "installed" differently).
