# EasyList / EasyPrivacy / Fanboy Lists
|
|
|
|
These lists are maintained by Fanboy (a.k.a. ryanbr), MonztA, and Khrin.
|
|
|
|
## EasyList
|
|
|
|
The goal of this repository is to block ads on English and International sites. First-party ads (that don't link, or passthrough to 3rd-party sites) won't be targeted directly. By blocking the following:
|
|
- Ad scripts (Generic and site-specific)
|
|
- Ad images
|
|
- Text/CSS ads
|
|
- Pre/mid/end video ads
|
|
- Affiliate links/images/widgets
|
|
- Cosmetic filtering (Generic and site-specific CSS)
|
|
- Ad servers (Block servers that host ads/ad-related contents)
|
|
- Prevent popups/popunders (Block scripts or domains that cause popups/popunders/ad notifications)
|
|
- Placeholders of non-trivial size (Usually ≥50px tall and ≥50px wide)
|
|
- Invideo/InSlideshow Ads (This is *NOT* the same as a site using embedded youtube videos).
|
|
- 1st or 3rd-party content.
|
|
- Videos/slideshows that aren't directly related to the specific webpage being shown.
|
|
- May autoplay and/or follows user on scroll.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anti-adblock in Easylist will cover cosmetic and generic blocks checks:
|
|
- Prevent adblock users showing a website
|
|
- Create elements to disrupt viewing a website
|
|
|
|
For legal reasons, Anti-adblock this will only cover:
|
|
- Adult websites
|
|
- File or Link hosting/sharing
|
|
- Streaming/Torrent/Comic sites
|
|
- Any historical anti-adblock rules
|
|
|
|
## EasyPrivacy
|
|
|
|
The goal of this repository is to block tracking and improve end user privacy. By blocking the following:
|
|
- Analytics
|
|
- Bot checks
|
|
- Telemetry
|
|
- Tracking cookies
|
|
- Pixels
|
|
- Referrers
|
|
- Beacons
|
|
- Fingerprinting
|
|
- Impressions/Event/Perf/Pageview logging
|
|
- User agent monitoring
|
|
- Resource miners
|
|
- Hit counters
|
|
- CNAME trackers
|
|
- Linking to other 3rd-party tracking servers
|
|
- Some unnecessary 3rd-party scripts/images
|
|
|
|
When a site is attempting to track, it'll be put into one of 4 categories.
|
|
- Generic blocks (common URL/tracking filter patterns) used by 1st/3rd-parties.
|
|
- 1st-party tracking. Self-hosted trackers and CNAME trackers.
|
|
- 3rd-party tracking. Hosted by another provider, which hosts a tracking script, but not actually a tracking company.
|
|
- Tracking-servers. Where the server has only one purpose to track/analyze user, will be blocked at the url level.

## Fanboy Lists
|
|
|
|
This repo also hosts the files for Fanboy's Annoyances List, EasyList Cookie List, Fanboy's Social Blocking List, and Fanboy's Notifications Blocking List.
|
|
|
|
## List issues
|
|
|
|
Filter issues can be raised via [E-mail](mailto:easylist@protonmail.com), via [Forum](https://forums.lanik.us/), or via [Github](https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues). Accountability and responsibility remain with the list authors and not with extensions and/or web browsers.
|
|
|
|
Attempt fix website false-positives where applicable such as:
|
|
- Website breakages
|
|
- Allow direct link fixes
|
|
- Web page rendering issues
|
|
|
|
It is preferable to submit issues instead of pull requests, because the EasyList team will need to look through the sites anyway, and pull requests can fall victim to rebase errors.
|
|
|
|
## Complaints
|
|
|
|
If your site was added to EasyList or EasyPrivacy:
|
|
- Outline why it shouldn't be added.
|
|
- The specific commit in question, or specific filter.
|
|
- Is it covered by any of the EasyList/EasyPrivacy requirements?
|
|
