Fanboy's list new default?

Post by tom21 »

Hi,
I just reinstalled Google Chrome and went to the abp website to install abp and I just saw that Fanboy has been choosen as default subscription. Is it better than EasyList? I surf on english, french and german sites.

I think it is better, and an even better one is the all-in-one Fanboy Ultimate: https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/r/fanboy-ultimate.txt

Anyway, ABP randomly chooses EasyList or Fanboy Adblock upon installation.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Since you surf German and French sites as well as English I would say that EasyList is by far the best solution for you (it has EasyList Germany and Liste FR as official supplements both of which are maintained by native speakers specifically for EasyList users).

Always need to improve it.. though ultimate includes many lists, so its not a great surprise there were some snails.

I can't use Ultimate because it occasionally breaks functionality, specifically clicking buttons to login ect don't work on some sites. But I love Fanboy regular, tracking, and annoyance.

It does include the enhanced trackers list, if something is broke,.. report in our forums so we can fix it :)
