The rule limits Google's proposing are more generous than the limits Apple puts on content blockers. Apple allows only 50K rules. And it turns out 50K rules is actually fine!
Declarative rules engines are better and preserve privacy better. This is Google following Apple's lead and doing the right thing.

- mixedCase 7y ago> The rule limits Google's proposing are more generous than the limits Apple puts on content blockers And Firefox and most Chromium forks have no limit. Does that mean they have infinite generosity? Seriously, how is Apple being bad at something an argument for lowering other options to the same level? Right now I have ~200K filters enabled on this machine. EasyList alone is sitting at 90K according to uBlock Origin.
