    What filters for uBlock Origin do you suggest? NOT for AD blocking!


    Note: "uBlock Origin is not an "ad blocker", it's a wide-spectrum content blocker."

    I am looking for some filters blocking cookie notices, coinminers, malware and trackers.
    I use Quad9 DNS, so a lot is already blocked by it, but an additional help would not hurt.

    I stopped using CleanBrowsing DNS, so I block adult sites via this extension.
    Even if it does not block a webpage, it blocks displaying images/videos on it.

    I know https://filterlists.com but there are literally thousands filters, so it is hard to pick a good one.

    For the record, I do not block ADs. I have even allowed ADs and redirects blocked by default within browsers.

    :)

    if you're using ad block plus or ublock origin you can block these web based miners by adding the "no coin" filter list: Known Adblock Plus subscriptions

    If I see anything about taboola again, should I select permanently instead of temporarily?
