> I can appreciate that uBlock Origin wants to be a universal condom that works on every website for everyone, but I also don't think it's so damning if the content blocker API is sufficient for that. Yet uBlock Origin and its rule lists still fail at this task as well.

I'd say it is sufficient for 90% of the websites at the moment.

My point is that this is not a constant value. Advertisers adapt and evolve, and content blockers need to do the same.

> A website can do any number of annoying things that uBlock Origin cannot block including things that aren't even related to ads. I simply refuse to use such websites. In fact, I want to know that a website does these things rather than remain in blissful ignorance. I don't want to support such a website even with my viewership.

This is indeed the best way to let site owners know that this approach is unacceptable. I wish everyone were doing the same.

> The rule limit is circumvented by simply bundling multiple rule lists.

Sure, but this is a workaround, quite an ugly one in fact.

> Also, 80% of Easylist is crap anyways

It does contain a lot of redundant rules, maybe 30% of it, but not 80% that's for sure. And what if I want to use more filter lists? The only thing I can do is use the multiple lists workaround. It is simply weird that nothing was done about this limitation in more than 3 years.
