Hello,
please i have important request ! there is fundamental problem, all lists break websites and make payment services and applications unusable.....because blocking trackers that's why it's better to make lists that just block ads and not the trackers, I tried a lot of mini light basic light minimal blocklists supposed to not contain false positives and not breaking the experience of apps, but I find that all the basic even minimal light lists on the web apparently block these sites essentials:

google-analytics.com

googleads.g.doubleclick.net

for example I tried the lists of 1Hosts (mini), Disconnect, oisd-basic, adguard, control d, HaGeZi - Multi LIGHT.....

but these important services "google-analytics" or "googleads.g.doubleclick" are blocked while they are essential for many sites and apps and services....

it doesn't matter if we see some ads, the most important thing is that all the sites work and we can be content with a basic blocking of the most malicious heavy ads, google is a well-known company so we have nothing to do fear but if there may be concern for privacy, there is virus malware theft....
this problem can be solved by not blocking trackers or at least tracking them from big companies like google and amazon, it will be great to make a list with in whitelist domains and trackers from big companies that we can find them here after doing this test:

https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html

so it will be great to have a special list for ublock origin or dns servers that doesn't block trackers to avoid bugs:

"I suppose the same could be said about Google Ads which now breaks Google's partner ad settings interface.

Blocking these types of domains which breaks smaller services that aren't used as much I can understand, but when you have large scale applications being broken it may be time to look at improving the approach such as possibly splitting the AdGuard DNS filter into many smaller lists for more granular control."

urgent need to be unblocked:

AdguardTeam/AdGuardSDNSFilter#1335

AdguardTeam/AdGuardSDNSFilter#1142

AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#150327

AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#90357

so my request please is to make a list for ublock origin and for dns servers that allow us to use custom lists in "rethink dns" and "ahadns blitz" and "control d" dns and "opennic dns" and "nextdns"....

and this list only blocks ads and does not block trackers like "google-analytics" and "googleads.g.doubleclick and amazon trackers.....to avoid false positives and the breakdown of services and site breakages website, thank you so much :)

the list of trackers not to be blocked can be found on this site:

Not going to happen. Not sure what strange payment services you use, but this is very counter intuitive.

Note that using Google Analytics in many EU countries has been declared illegal under GDPR. Web developers should step up their game and respect privacy instead.
