The reason for using static filters instead of dynamic rules is quite simple: The author is [refusing to make dynamic rules loadable from a remote source](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/66) which is required for me as I'm using multiple browser profiles and therefore cannot use the "cloud sync" method suggested by him. + +The method used here is derived from this video: [How to use uBlock Origin advanced user mode tutorial 2018](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lisQQmWQkY): + +- Block every third-party script and frame +- Allow some stuff globally to unbreak most of the internet +- Add specific allow-rules for websites I'm using still being broken by the previous rules + +Together with a whole list of other filter lists this achieves a quite good coverage for blocking crap out of my browsing experience. + +--- + +In case you really want to use this filter list for yourself: + +- Clone this repo and modify the `filters.txt` +- OR subscribe to this list and add your own rules to your `My Filters` tab in uBlock Origin: + ``` + https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Luzifer/browser-privacy/master/filters.txt + ``` + +I most likely will not incorporate pull-requests or other additions to my list as this list is optimized for me.
