SOURCES
|
||||
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
|
||||
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
|
||||
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.
|
||||
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).
|
||||
|
||||
WHY USE A MINIMAL BLOCKLIST?
|
||||
USAGE
|
||||
Important to know that both the Top500 and Top3000 mostly contain 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. All domains of Top500 are also blocked by the
|
||||
Top3000 list. The Top500 actually has a little more than 500 domains listed, the Top3000 a little less.
|
||||
|
||||
WHY USE A SMALL BLOCK BLOCK LIST?
|
||||
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
|
||||
When you want a common use well maintained small blocklist, use Disconnect's Simple Ad-filter or Peter Low's blocklist. These lists also
|
||||
aim to block adnetworks in stead of adsvertismens on websites (that is why they only have over 3000 blacklisted URL's). When you prefer
|
||||
large blocklist have a look at Steven's Black hostfile.
|
||||
ALTERNATIVES WITH SIMULAR BLOCKING APPROACH
|
||||
When you want a common use well maintained small blocklist, you can also use Disconnect's Simple Ad-filter or Peter Low's blocklist.
|
||||
These lists also aim to block adnetworks in stead of adsvertismens on websites (that is why they only have over 3000 blacklisted URL's).

||||
|
||||
ERRORS & ISSUES
|
||||
When you still want to use this blocklist, feel free to use it and provide feedback on errors. I will correct the issue as soon as possible.
|
||||
When you encounter an issue.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
||ABC_example.com$badfilter
|
||||
|
||||
When your adblocker does not has the badfilter option, you can create an allow rule for that domain by adding (as last resort):
|
||||
|
||||
@@||ABC_example.com
