Block Everything! - AdBlock Filter List

What Are We?

Ad Blockers are plugins/addons that you add to your web browser to block ads. Most of these plugins work by checking "filter lists" such as this one.

I recommend uBlock Origin ad block plugin.

What We Block

The default uBlock Origin lists block most ads and tracking.

Web Annoyances Ultralist blocks most floating items.

This list is for the few ads and annoyances that these two lists don't cover.

Our goal is to block everything annoying. Anything that disrupts the normal reading flow of the page. Anything that tries to influence the reader to do something unnecessary.

Categories:

  • Anything in news articles that is not normal article text. (e.g. related article links)
  • Anything in social media feeds that is not a normal feed item.
  • Banner notifications. Anything from "call volume higher than usual", to COVID, to BLM.
  • Nags or attempts to influence in any form.
  • Minor ads and banners missed by major filter lists.

Examples:

  • YouTube's homepage has some panels such as "Recommended Movies", "Latest YouTube posts", and "Breaking news". We block those. We just want to see the normal recommended videos.
  • New Reddit's homepage has "Updates from Reddit", "Trending today", and "Top broadcast right now" (videos/streamers). We block those. We just want to see the normal recommended posts.
  • Your LinkedIn user profile is littered with little nags that try to get you to do things. We block those.
  • etc.

Who Can Contribute

Contributions welcome! Just make sure you have uBlock Origin installed, check all 7 of the "Annoyances" lists (even the non default, hidden ones), and add Web Annoyances Ultralist. Anything not blocked by these lists is welcome to be included here.

How to block ads on Android

You can block ads on your phone. But Chrome For Android does not have plugins, so you need to use a browser like Firefox For Android.
