    That’s up to 30K dynamic rules, at least 30K static rules, and at least 1K regex rules: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/declarativeNetRequest#property-GUARANTEED_MINIMUM_STATIC_RULES

    That seems like it’s fine for general use, and those limits might go up again. EasyList and the other big lists can be consolidated to varying degrees with Chrome’s rules format, and there’s probably some dead rules in there. uBlock Origin on Firefox will definitely be more versatile moving forward, but every time I’ve used uBlock Origin Lite in Chrome it’s almost the same experience.

      Why even make limit at all? Should not have any.

      EasyList and the other big lists can be consolidated to varying degrees with Chrome’s rules format

      Source? Or you just assume they can? What about specific list? List by small maintainer?

      Not convinced feature gap any better yet just by slightly higher number and not said real number and vague „can compress list“.

      Also, until Hill say satisfied with api or proven it enough to fight google head on in adblock war, not think good enough.
