The blocklist based on surveys on most used webtechnology related to advertising and tracking. The list come in two versions. The top 500 has a
|
2020-07-25 09:50:55 +02:00
|
|
|
a cut-off point of 1% in Alexa's top 300.000 and the top 3000 a 1% cut-off point in the top 1000.000 of Alexa. Important to know that these
|
2020-07-25 09:53:20 +02:00
|
|
|
are only advertisement and trackking networks used in websites from Europe and North America. The Top500 actually has a little more than 500
|
|
|
|
|
domains listed, the Top3000 a little less.

WHY USE A MINIMAL BLOCKLIST?
|
2020-02-21 09:59:01 +01:00
|
|
|
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).

|
aim to block adnetworks in stead of adsvertismens on websites (that is why they only have over 3000 blacklisted URL's). When you prefer

You can fix a problem easily yourself in most adblock extensions (e.g. AdBlockPlus, Adguard, uBlockOrigin).
|
|
|
|
|
Look for UserFilter or MyFilter in the extension options an add a badfilter for the domain which is blocked while it should not. In the
|
|
|
|
|
example below the domain ABC_example.com is ignored with the badfilter option.

When your adblocker does not has the badfilter option, you can create an allow rule for that domain by adding (as last resort):
