Suggestions for filter lists’ update

[DimitrisKalaboukas]

I think that you should remove Fanboy – Anti-Facebook list, because it isn’t actively maintained and it causes a lot of breakages, which aren’t fixed even if they have been reported long time ago.

Also, you could add Scam Blocklist by DurableNapkin in “Malicious domains” section, AdGuard DNS filter in “Multiple uses” section, and Dandelion Sprout's Annoyances List in “Annoyances” section.

What breakages?

I mean...

It's literally a video from facebook, the video loads in an iframe with the source link https://www.facebook.com/v2.5/plugins/video.php. The list is literally called Anti-Facebook. It's doing the job correctly. It's not breakage.

Imagine another user who wants to block all facebook connections, enables that list (because that list is called Anti-Facebook) and suddenly when they visit that page, a literal facebook video loads in their browser, just because another user reported that the video is "useful"?

If you want to load facebook videos, you should not enable that list. It's a specialized list. It's not a matter of "useful" or not. The blocking is literally its intended feature. If you want to whitelist at some pages, you can whitelist it yourself, not report to the list to exclude that site for you.
