This blocklist is based on surveys of most used advertising and tracking technology (e.g. surveys of W3C, W3Tech and the
|
|
|
|
on-line marketing community itself). These tech surveys are held once a year. This is the reason of the low update frequency
|
|
|
|
(365 days and ad hoc corrections to correct website breakage).Those surveys are oriented on Europe and North America, this is
|
|
|
|
the reason this blocklist contains mostly EU and US based advertising and tracking networks.

In advertising the number one (Google) has a marketshare of around 40 percent, Facebook the number two hits the 20 percent mark while the
|
|
|
|
number three Comscore just has a little over 2.5% marketshare. For comparison Amazon with its huge webstore generates about the same
|
|
|
|
advertising traffic on its own website. Number 100 on this list is probably used at 5000 websites of the Alexa Top 300.000 websites, while
|
|
|
|
number 250 may only track you on 500 websites of the Alexa Top 300.000 (websited with more than 3000 unique visitors per day).

USAGE
|
|
|
|
When you decide to use this filter, it is good practice to add you language specific Easylist filter. Language specific filters
|
|
|
|
often contain specific block and hide rules of teh websites you visit (first party). This blocklist aims to block advertising and tracking
|
|
|
|
networks which are used on the websites you visit (third-party). By using both you get the best out of both approaches.
