My filters

This is a collection of filterlists made by me (iam-py-test).
Feel free to use any and all of them (they are under CC0) in uBlock Origin, AdGuard, AdBlock Plus (special version required), or in any other way (i.e. PiHole, /etc/hosts)
Please report any issues you have and I will try to fix them; please note I may not reply within the day the issue is posted as I am often busy.
Thank you to all the people in https://github.com/iam-py-test/my_filters_001/blob/main/CONTRIBUTORS.md for helping improve these filters.
For uBlock Origin users, you can right click on any link starting with https://subscribe.adblockplus.org, click "uBlock Origin", then "Subscribe to filterlist...":

Please note! I am only one person, and I do not have much time to dedicate to this project. These lists don't get updated as often as they should, and I'm sorry.

Filters in this repo

Actively maintained

• The malicious website blocklist (antimalware.txt) (Subscribe)

The Malicious Website Blocklist blocks malware, phishing, some scams, and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). Note the latter category includes legitimate websites which engage in deceptive practices.

Automatically generated

• DuckDuckGo Clean up (duckduckgo-clean-up.txt) - Generated from The malicious website blocklist and iam-py-test's anti-PUP list
• Brave Search Clean up (brave-clean-up.txt) - Generated from The malicious website blocklist and iam-py-test's anti-PUP list
• Everything in the Alternative list formats folder
• The Malicious Website Blocklist lite

Not actively maintained but don't require frequent updates

• My anti-Facebook list
• Anti-Norton tracking list HOSTs file (anti-norton-tracking.txt)
• iam-py-test's Discord cleanup list (discord_cleanup.txt)
• DuckDuckGo Additional Cleanup (duckduckgo_extra_clean.txt)
• Anti-Dynamic DNS (antidynamicdns.txt)
• iam-py-test's anti-PUP list

This is a more agressive list which blocks:

• Snake oil programs such as registry cleaners
• Low quality malware removal guides
• Bundled software installers

Not frequently updated but still receive occasional updates

• Anti-typosquatting list (antitypo.txt)
• Anti-redirectors list (anti-redirectors.txt)
• Anti-'JavaScript is disabled' warnings (no-js-warnings.txt)

Extension lists which add onto my existing lists

• The malicious website blocklist - uBlock Origin extension

Updated rarely but still technically supported

• My anti-rickroll list (anti-rickroll-list.txt)
• The clickbait blocklist (clickbait.txt) (Subscribe)
• My Enhanced Protection list (Warning: This list is pretty much unmaintained and very poorly thought out)
• Annoyances (annoyances.txt)

Lists for testing syntax

• Everything in the Sandbox folder
• The useless filter list (useless-list.txt)
• test_filter.txt

Lists which I gave up on

• Pornography Blocklist (porn.txt)
  This list has been unmaintained since 2021, and many of the domains listed are either dead or false positives. I have no plans of adding new entries or removing invalid/dead ones. Use at your own risk (or not at all, there are far better actively maintained lists).
• The device privacy list (device_privacy.txt)
• Anti-cookie-consent and paywalls list (anti-cookie+sign up.txt)
• Google Safe Browsing reverse-engineered
• Microsoft Smart Screen reverse-engineered

Dead lists which are not even complete

• trojan_protection_list.txt
• Anti-over-promoted Windows antivirus list (could not find enough instances of this that would not break legitimate websites)
• anti-cookie+sign up_extention.txt (had one purpose - to work with my custom scriptlets - but the website it was intended to work for changed cookie values to quickly for it to work)

Personal (would not recommend using)

• "Personal filters" (iam-py-test.txt)
• "Lockdown mode" This list has an extremely specific purpose, and SHOULD NOT BE USED.

Experimental lists (use with care)

• TLD blocking lists (more information)
• Anti-'page visit counter' list (anti-visit.txt)
• IP Lookup service blocklist (antiiplookup.txt)
• Anti-adfly (anti-adfly.txt) This list is no longer maintained, as adfly has been bought by Linkverse.
• Link redirect removal list (redirect-remover.txt)
• Favicon blocker (favicon_blocker.txt)
• Anti-TikTok (anti-tiktok.txt)
• Anti-dating (antidating.txt)
• Anti-file hosting/shareing websites (anti-file-hosting.txt)
• Anti-"Private analytics" (anti-privacy-analytics.txt)

The filters in the Alternative list formats folder are versions of some of the lists above for different software. These are auto-generated, and thus updates to them must be made to the original list or the Python script which generates them.
Everything not listed above, like the filters in the Personal folder, is either completely forgotten by me, or is likely to break websites due to its purpose or lack of regulation.

Notes

• The DuckDuckGo Clean Up list is auto-generated from duckduckgo-clean-up.template and the domains/ips versions of The malicious website blocklist. Changes in Pull Requests should be made to The malicious website blocklist or to the Python script.
• Like above, The Brave Search Clean Up list is auto-generated from brave-clean-up.template and the domains/ips versions of The malicious website blocklist. Changes in Pull Requests should be made to The malicious website blocklist or the Python script.
• Google Safe Browsing reverse engineered and Microsoft Smartscreen reverse engineered are not intended as lists of known malware domains, instead they are lists of domains/urls which are blocked by those services in an attempt to understand them and provide some of their protection to users of other browsers. They are also rarely updated
• All the up-to-date HOSTs versions use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1, as per #87
• The domains_lite and hosts_lite versions are unmaintained as they took too much time to create and the script(s) which made them have been lost to history, however, the antimalware_lite is not.
• The malicious website blocklist - uBlock Origin extension should not be installed on its own as it is designed only to be included in The malicious website blocklist.
