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).

|
|
|
Important to know that the Top3000 mostly contains advertisement and tracking networks used in West Europe and North America.
|
|
|
|
Therefore it is adviced to add you language specific Easylist filter when using these filters.

WHY USE A SMALL BLOCK BLOCK LIST?
|
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).

|
|
|
These lists also aim to block adnetworks instead of adsvertismens on websites (that is why they only have over 3000 blacklisted URL's).
