I made these for my personal use. I'm sure a lot of the filters here might actually break some useful sites. Please be cautious and check ublock's logger to see what is getting filtered out, and comment out any problamatic filter. Use only the filters you're interested in. You might find some useful stuff like the cosmetic filters for MAL.

To use it, you can simply copy paste the contents into your "My Filters" tab or add the list just like you add custom filters via URL. You can find more information in gorhill's gist.

- ADZbuzz - fork that replaces ads with "acceptable ads"
