filter lists

Filter lists are predefined sets of rules used by internet security tools, like ad blockers or parental controls, to identify and block unwanted or harmful content. They contain URLs, domains, or patterns that match ads, trackers, malware sites, or inappropriate content. When browsing online, these lists help ensure a safer, faster experience by automatically filtering out things you want to avoid. Users can customize or update filter lists to better suit their needs, making browsing more private and less cluttered.
