Who develops filter lists? Just take a look at the documentation, the volume is huge. With time, filtering rules syntax evolved and nowadays its complexity is comparable with a programming language. There are hundreds of different filtering options and we can’t list them all here, but we hope it is enough to get the general idea.

We've covered in detail what filters are, how ad blocking works based on them and how filter development is threatened by Manifest v3. To delve deeper into it, check out our articles. Today, we want to introduce a new tool that is supposed to make it easier to develop filter lists, and we want to share this tool with the whole ad-blocking community. Any ad blocker’s work is defined by the so-called filter lists so it’s important to understand what they are and how they are made - you’ll find the explanation below.
