- lorenzhs 7y agoSafari allows 50k per list, Chrome is planning to move from 30k per extension (!= list) to 150k global max per your links. That's quite a difference. On iOS, some blocks use multiple lists -- AdGuard has six and 1Blocker X has seven, for example. An ad blocker that would be limited to 30k rules, as originally suggested by the Chromium folks, would be severely neutered. And even with the 150k max, I currently have ~240k rules in uBlock Origin. That's way above Chrome's planned max. But easy enough to implement with Safari's model, even if it requires using at least five lists.
