The problem is with the limit on the number of filters. On desktop Firefox I have ~120,000 network filters active on uBlock. Safari on iOS limits the number of filters an adblocker can have active to 50,000 and Google are proposing limiting it to 30,000 on Chrome.
- LeoPanthera 8y agoOn iOS and macOS, blockers can have more filters than this "limit" by simply exposing more than one list, since the quota is per-list. I think AdGuard exposes four, for example.
- GraemeL 8y agoIs there something special that needs to be done to configure it? Every time I go over 50,000 I get a red warning at the bottom of the AdGuard filters setting screen telling me that I'm over the limit.
- simongr3dal 8y ago1Blocker for iOS and Mac works around this limitation by segmenting it's blocker list into categories, and each category is a separate blocker extension but they are all shipped together in the same app. This way they can have pretty much as many multiples of 50,000 rules as they need.
