What are filter lists?

Filter lists are sets of rules that tell your browser which elements to block. You can block as little or as much as you want. Choose from pre-made, externally maintained filter lists, or create your own (English only). Almost all pre-made filter lists are created, published, and maintained by users for users under open-source licenses.

Default filter lists

The following filter lists come pre-installed with Adblock Plus:

Acceptable Ads
EasyList (+ bundled language filter list - depending on your browser’s language setting)
ABP Anti-circumvention filter list

Important

It is not recommended to add too many filter lists to Adblock Plus. This can slow down the ad blocker and, therefore, your browsing.
