The blocklist based on surveys on most used webtechnology related to advertising and tracking. These surveys are only updated once a year.
|
|
|
|
|
This is the reason of the low update frequency (once a year a new version, ad hoc corrections to prevent website breakage).

USAGE

|
|
|
Important to know that the blocklist contains advertisement and tracking networks used in West Europe and North America.
|
|
|
|
|
When you decide to use this filter, it is good practice to add you language specific Easylist filter. Language specific filters
|
|
|
|
|
often contain website specific block and hiding rules (first party rules), which supplement this (third-party) blocklist well.
|
|
|
|
|
This lists aims to block (third-party) advertising and tracking networks which are used on the (first-party) websites you visit.

|
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).
