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).
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.

WHY USE A SMALL AD&TRACKING NETWORKS BLOCK LIST WITH YOUR COUNTRY SPECIFIC EASYLIST BLOCKLIST?

WHY USE A SMALL AD&TRACKING NETWORKS BLOCK LIST WITH YOUR COUNTRY SPECIFIC EASYLIST BLOCKLIST?
|
||||
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).

ALTERNATIVES WITH SIMULAR BLOCKING APPROACH
|
||||
When you want to use other small blocklist focussed on blocking ad networks, you can also use Disconnect's or Peter Low's blocklists.
|
||||
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.
