AdblockRules

This is where you'll find the AdBlock rules I use, and some of the rulesets I've created to deal with things other lists don't focus on.

My lists

Allow lists

• AppleEnterpriseList: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twcau/AdblockRules/master/AppleEnterpriseList (AdBlock Plus Subscription Link)
• Microsoft Allowed Domains: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twcau/AdblockRules/master/MicrosoftAllowed (AdBlock Plus Subscription Link)

Block lists

How to use?

Add the web address of one or more lists as a subscription within your AdBlock client, and shazam - your internet experience will be that little more free of those things which abuse your privacy and suck up your data like greasy hors d'oeuvres.

Clients and applications that support AdBlock rules:

Plugins are available for use with most modern web browsers, on both desktop and mobile devices:

• For desktops and laptops, I personally recommend and trust AdBlock Plus: https://adblockplus.org/
• For mobile devices (iOS, Android), AdGuard is my go-to: https://adguard.com/en/products.html
• For home networks: Pi-Hole (https://pi-hole.net/), or AdGuard Home (https://adguard.com/en/adguard-home/overview.html) to cover all devices on your home internet connection.
