The main ABP filter-list is EasyList, and you can look inside it here: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

use firefox + ABP, go to youtube, play a video, click ABP icon, open blockable items list ==> in red you'll see the filtered requests (and the triggered filters)

Thanks :) But among this huge list, which are the precise domains that Adblock Plus blocks? :p

Is it possible to do that in Chrome?

Thanks. I already tried that before, but it doesn't tell me anything it blocks...

You are making some mistake.
Go to YT.
Right click the page, click inspect.
Go to adblock plus tab !
Refresh (press F5) ==> you'll get the filters.

Yeah I know how to do it, but when I ask it to show me only blocked elements, it shows nothing.

Do you see other requests ? or you get nothing ?
It works for me. You have to go to the new ABP tab before refreshing the page.

I do see not blocked resquests. Are the blocked requests on the bottom where it says failed to load?
