Code: Select all

Static filter ||quantserve.com^ found in:
* https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt
* Blockzilla
* https://pgl.yoyo.org/as/serverlist.php?hostformat=adblockplus&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext&skip[]=adf.ly&skip[]=boldchat.com
* Malvertising filter list by Disconnect
None of these lists is default in ABP (and I think only the last one is default in uBlock Origin, although the one from pgl.yoyo.org without those skipped domains is also default in uBO); I know that the one at pgl.yoyo.org is also ABP-compatible, I think Blockzilla is too, and I know that the Disconnect lists are not compatible with ABP.

I'm not sure that quantserve.com would be a source of ads: I thought that domain was strictly for analytics, and I'm not sure where the ads would have come from, out of the few resources that showed up in the logger as blocked.
Thanks for this one, it helped a lot =)
