At this point it just ads a false sense of security.

I'm not sure whether there are better replacements out there.

It should also be removed from AdGuard Home.

Hello, The list may not have been updated for a long time, but the current rules are relevant and the list developer is going to add new ones, so we decided not to delete this list for now.

P.S. And I don’t know of a worthy replacement.

@Sergey-Lyapin can you please reopen this issue now that we have a potential replacement?
