ublock extra, or another way to combat Instart logic #115

Just curious if it is at all possible to do ANYTHING with safari in regard to https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra ?

The malicious anti adblock redirects are getting bad on some sites and sadly easylist has gotten to point where they just tell users to install chrome or firefox vs bothering to try to even combat it anymore on their end. This makes ublock less effective for safari users, as we can't currently rely on ublock extra right now. So if list makers aren't adding special filters to try and combat Instart logic, where are we left?

I don't have any ads on 10 sites tested from this list... no redirect neither. https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra/wiki/Sites-on-which-uBO-Extra-is-useful

wowhead is quite bad at it. making tons of instart C7 connections and even maxing your upload for a bit. I have to use chrome for wowhead now cause it's just unusable on safari for me. the redirects and upload usage make experience horrible
