6 years ago Kind of hard to figure out your point from the title and limited text. But if you're implying that a list of domains blocked by itself is a measure of effectiveness... then you need to be sure you understand that:
-
Block lists determine what is blocked, not UBO itself.
-
Websites serve up different ads or different versions of code for different browsers, at different times of day, to different IP addresses, in response to existing cookies or browser fingerprints, screen resolution, OS, etc. It's impossible to know without way more info what's going on with that site and the role, if any, that Ublock is playing.
Demonstration of problem doesn't even require a long list, just one domain that slips through the net despite an applicable blocking rule. And one this is blocked by the UBO but not the Safari fork of it under the exact same conditions (to the extent possible given different browsers). And reports of those are expected in this never-ending battle.
Not sure it is an issue, correct me, please. Here is the results of opening www.newyorker.com in Safari:
