@gorhill Can you please upload http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/retriever/custom to https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-around-the-web#external-filter-lists-of-interest ?

It contains the custom filters that is used in http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/blacklist.txt.

I do not want to subscribe to http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/blacklist.txt as it includes EasyList that already is enabled by uBO by default.

Even if you subscribe, you will be fine. Duplicates will be discarded!!
