This update adds a variety of new features, including EasyList's Anti-AI Suggestions list. This new list would be found in the annoyances section, under the dropdown of "EasyList annoyances".

The update can not be installed in Chrome or Firefox yet, as it is still pending review.

Ryan Brown blocklisted #OperaBrowser's affiliate domain (get-gx.net) in #EasyList, citing abuse of Opera's affiliate program.
They complained to Opera on Twitter/X about affiliate link abuse in February, but received no response.
In my experience, I have seen many popups leading to Opera affiliate links.
Ryan Brown did warn the content filtering community prior to this decision.

It has been (almost) 2 weeks since Ryan requested #malwarebytes credit #easylist in the description of their browser extension.
So far, this is what we have heard from the Malwarebytes representative:
*crickets chirping*

#malwarebytes now credits #EasyList... buried in their "third party credits" page which is not even mentioned/linked to in the extension description or the extension it's self.

Adblockers blocking anonymous telemetry: @mo8it wrote a blog article on the experience of using #OxiTraffic for privacy preserving telemetry and how this still ended up with my site being featured on #EasyList, a default blocklist of #uBlockOrigin

I don't have a good solution here but I am pretty sure there is a problem

This really breaks my heart 😭

I spent so much time polishing #OxiTraffic just for it to be blocked by an AdBlocker 🚫

I developed it in the first place to protect #privacy!
I don't collect any personal data or anything that can help identifying a user on the web.
No IP, no cookies, no User-Agent… How is this bad for privacy?

It is fully free and open source, you can just read the commented blocked script.

Thank you sweet Jebus, the #EasyList #Cookie List "blocks cookies banners, GDPR overlay windows and other privacy-related notices"

It got rid of the perpetual cookie banner on stackexchange and related sites.

I believe that "Fanboy's Annoyance List", which is one of the blocklists mantained by EasyList (and can be used in uBO, ABP, etc.), is supposed to suppress newsletter popups and similar junk.

Their coverage is not nearly as complete as the main lists' coverage for run-of-the-mill web ads, though.

If you feel so inclined, the official method for notifying the maintainers of content missed by the blocklist is the forum at forums.lanik.us/ and it appears they update the list every 7 days or so.

#wasFehlt: Abonnierbare #fedifilter-Listen a la #easylist / #ublockorigin.

Oder jemand, die*der mir für alle Bundes-, UEFA- und sonstwas für Fußball-Ligen alle Vereins-X-spielt-gegen-Y-Kombinations-Hashtags für meine Blockliste generiert. #SVWFCM usw.

Die #EasyList Blocklisten haben ein Problem, viele, viele, viele Anfragen von schlecht durchdachter Software anderer. 😐

Auch einer der oft vergessenen Dinge von im Netz verfügbaren Dingen. Was passiert wenn da plötzlich Millionen von Requests drauf rasseln.
