      I am trying to add Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list to the built in adblocker, but it does not work. I have tried the ABP format, both plaintext and not. What is the correct format for this list?

          @leocg thank you for your reply. If you look at the the language-specific lists Opera provides, the format is the same as adblock plus uses (polish, Turkish).
          As it says on easylist's homepage: "The EasyList filter lists are sets of rules originally designed for Adblock that automatically remove unwanted content from the internet". Easylist is not a format, but rather lists written in a format that adblock plus can understand.
          Currently the built-in adblocker does not perform as well as uBlock Origin, so it would be nice to add custom rules

              @leocg nothing really. Not blocking any additional ads, but not getting any error messages neither.
