List Request: Fanboy's Ultimate without Enhanced Trackers

Post by guest »

This request is fueled by being stuck with a single subscription for Adblock as an addon in Firefox for Android. If I've done my homework correctly, there is currently no way to get more than one subscription loaded onto an unrooted phone, because FF v35.0.1 only lets tablets sync addon data, not phones.

Currently I'm using Adblock Edge because it lets me subscribe to Fanboy's Ultimate list, but I'd really like a subscription option without the false-positive-prone (according to its own description) Enhanced Trackers list. Easylist+EasyPrivacy+Annoyances is my personal preference for what I'd like to run. It seems odd to me that "Fanboy's Complete List" includes ETL and not Annoyances, since Annoyances seems like the lower-tier of the two, if that makes sense.

Related question, I've read that adding too many lists can impact performance, which I'm assuming is why the mobile addon limits subscriptions to just one. But is this due to marging lists, or just a result of having a sheer high number of blocking rules? E.g. is Fanboy's Ultimate "just as bad" for performance as subscribing to the individual lists?

It's having a large number of rules; also, thanks for pointing out something that Adblock Edge does that's actually an improvement over ABP.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
