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). The online advertising industry likes to keep lists of top performing companies in
|
|
|
|
the ad supply chain (including advertising excanhe platforms). The list and surveys monitored are oriented on Europe and
|
|
|
|
North America, this is the reason this blocklist contains mostly EU and US based advertising and tracking networks.

WHY USE A SMALL ADVERTISING AND TRACKING NETWORKS BLOCK LIST?
|
2020-08-25 15:25:35 +02:00
|
|
|
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.

ADVICED USAGE
|
|
|
|
When you decide to use this compact filter it is good practice to add your language specific Easylist English and your native
|
|
|
|
language Easylist filter. Thanks to to the ongoing efforst of Brave to remove dead filters the original Easylist filter is
|
2021-02-27 09:18:11 +01:00
|
|
|
reduced by 50 percent. As an alternative to Easylist you could use the Optimized Easylist filter of Adguard. This list
|
2021-02-27 09:16:27 +01:00
|
|
|
contains a subset (around 25%) of the rules which are triggered often (so it excludes the rules you probabaly never use).
|
|
|
|
This will combined (small and longlist ) approach will provide you with 90% of the ad and tracking protection with only 10% of
|
|
|
|
the number of block rules.
