As the title says.

Just wanted to thank you here because I forgot the password https://forum.openwrt.org. LoL

It's been about 2 weeks using adblock-lean on MikroTik RBSXTsq2nD (SXTsq Lite2) without any problems.

It's a 16/64 device. But for the first time I can use a "large" blocklist (Hagezi Multi NORMAL). Note: even I tried Multi PRO (but people suggested Multi NORMAL).

Usually when I use the "large" blocklist on simple-adblock or now adblock-fast or adblock or dnscrypt-proxy2 I run out of RAM and adblock doesn't work anymore.

But not with adblock-lean!!! I use it with wireguard to access public wifi without any problems. I didn't even enable "initial_dnsmasq_restart".

And I usually need another router (actually an android tv box with openwrt) to run "ad blocker" with "large" blocklists. Or a dns with blocklist.

Thank you this is really amazing.

Thanks a lot for this positive feedback. A lot of effort was recently put into reducing the memory footprint of adblock-lean, and clearly this has paid off.

Thank you! This app is fantastic—it’s truly a setup and forget experience. I was going to recommend it to a friend, but I completely forgot the name 😄. (I did eventually find it, though!)

Cheers! I've enjoyed working on this project together with @Wizballs. I like that it has no dependencies, and the set and forget aspect. We are still working on reducing CPU and memory usage even further to help those with weaker devices use even larger blocklists.

Awesome stuff ghost. Glad it works well for you! Lynx and I put a lot of work to really optimise / minimise the system use - both ram & cpu.

Just edited your post @Wizballs since this is most definitely a team project; it was your idea that began it and you've remain involved throughout.
