IMPORTANT NOTICE: PETER LOW's BLOCKLIST HAS MOST OF THESE DOMAINS INCORPORATED NOW, SO USE PETER LOW's INSTEAD
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This is minimial blocklist
https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=adblockplus&mimetype=plaintext for Adblock Plus format
W3Tech analysis which analytics, advertisement, tracking and tagmanagement services are most used
https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=1&mimetype=plaintext for Host file format
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 Somscore 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. The numbers 3 to 200 together account for (only) 20 percent market share.
# WS3_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist
The website w3tech publishes surveys on most used internet technology including advertising, tagging and traffic analysis services:
https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/advertising/all
https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/traffic_analysis/all
https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/tag_manager/all
This small but effective list is simply based on the annual surveys of W3C technology
Advertising networks advertise their marketshare to indicate how succesful they are. In stead of looking at websites, I looked at the
advertising industry itself. to block the bulk of the mainstream advertising services with the obvious benefit of low maintenance effort
(for me) and low performance impact (for the adblocker you are using).
