I created this project 2018 because I don't like the current well-known filter lists and I think they're often outdated and incomplete or simply inefficient. My list is not restricted by any region. However, my personal focus is english, russian and swiss and germany regions since I speak these languages.
The overall project goal is to block ads and reduce the traffic coming from the domains/websites you visit. The term 'ads' is not defined in this project because I also block cosmetically banners and popup stuff which I think only causes useless traffic without any real benefit.
Site-specific or filter-based extensions such as AdBlock Plus, Request Policy, Ghostery, Priv3 and Sharemenot are in general to be avoided. According to my own security expertise and history I can guarantee that these extensions do not add any real privacy layer to the Browser by itself - a proper implementation of the privacy requirements and development efforts on the Browser directly should be preferred on general solutions that prevent tracking by all third parties, rather than a list of specific URLs or hosts.
I do not recommend using any filter lists, instead I highly recommend to work with whitelist only which are based on your own needs. However, a filter lists can help to reduce a possible attack surface based on the daily browsing habits.
It's cool that some people add my lists into their own projects and I in general allow it but it's not cool that several people now make money via donations with my and other peoples lists. I DO NOT ALLOW any commercial usage and everyone which doesn't respect this will get a DMCA takedown request and a paper from my lawyer.
