Duplicate filters in EasyPrivacy and EasyList and/or ListeFR

Post by Roninnin »

Hi,

These filters are present both in EasyPrivacy and EasyList (and/or ListeFR):

@@||adyoulike.omnitagjs.com^$script,domain=dl.free.fr
@@||omnitagjs.com/fo-*/captcha/$domain=dl.free.fr
@@||omnitagjs.com/fo-api/omniTag?$xmlhttprequest,domain=dl.free.fr
@@||sh.st/bundles/smeadvertisement/img/track.gif?$xmlhttprequest

Sounds like they should only be in EasyPrivacy.

Thanks

Those are whitelist rules that were probably needed for those sites to work, and chances are they're needed even if someone uses only one of the lists; if anything, they should just be in EasyList, because both EasyPrivacy and ListeFR are intended to be used with EasyList.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Yes but these four are new and I don't think duplicate filters are much appreciated by list maintainers for performance reasons or something, so I reported them. Seeing as nothing has been done, should I not report duplicates in the future ?



Which list these filters should stay in is another question that I didn't mean to address, only guess at it. Given the look of these filters, they sound like they belong in EasyPrivacy but that's not up to me.

On the other hand, I disable all EasyPrivacy exception rules but not EasyList's, and these sound like exceptions I would normally disable. (I value privacy over convenience and accept getting some sites broken)
