@ -8,21 +8,14 @@ In advertising the number one (Google) has a marketshare of around 40 percent, F
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 200 on this list only has a marginal market share of 0.1 % 1n the Alexa top 10000. Imagine how effective URL number 50.000 will
be of your blocklist. Fair chance it will never be triggered, because you never surf to the websites on which this tracker is used.
Another problem with community based blocklists, is that they contain a lot dead URL's. Low hit rate's and low maintenance probably
is the reason that some adblock extensions have an option to exclude URL's with low usage (like AdGuard or SmartAdblock) or periodically
filter out dead URL's (like Opera's and Brave's build-in adblockers claim to do).
ALTERNATIVES
When you want a common use well maintained small blocklist, use Disconnect's Simple Ad-filter or Peter Low's blocklist (both have over

large blocklist have a look at Energized.pro. They claim to have an automated process to remove dead links and duplicates.
ERRORS & ISSUES
When you still want to use this blocklist, feel free to use it and provide feedback on errors. You can post issues, but I will only have
a look at it when the issue causes a problem on an COM, INF, NET or ORG domain. You can fix a problem easily yourself in most adblock
a look at it when the issue causes a problem on an COMefer , INF, NET or ORG domain. 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. For instance when this
filter causes a problem on website ABC_example.com, simply add a badfilter using this syntax:
