Hi.
i use ABP with easylist, easy-element, ABP tracking filter.
is it usefull to add other filters or is there some other overlap, how much percentage is there overlap, i'm thinking of adding also fanboy's adblock list or AdblockRules

how much filters wil slow down firefox startup, or browsing or actually slow down ABP
thanks

Re: How many filter-lists are usefull: maximum amount?
Both Easylist and Fanboy's list are general lists so it shouldn't be necessary to have both.
It's harmless to try and see if it has any effect since you always have the opportunity to add/remove subscriptions.
Generally speaking, I recommend only 1 general subscription (+ extra lists which may belong to it) and 1 or 2 extra language subscriptions if you also use websites of those languages.

well i would like to add other lists, which ones do you recommend, because i read only english and dutch (there exists a list called NLblock but it isn't updates a lot, last time 2 weeks ago so it's useless)Adblock Plus Fan wrote:Both Easylist and Fanboy's list are general lists so it shouldn't be necessary to have both.

I use Easylist. But you should decide for yourself what you think is best for your own browsing habits.babybox wrote:what lists do you use?
If you have 2 or 3 general lists to choose from, then use each of them one at a time for 3-5 days. Visit your regular sites, and try out some new strange sites and see for yourself how good each list is.
