        @kristatos It would be nice to know what device it is and what OTA, channel, version you are on (Xenial or Focal).

        2016-Now (Daily use) : BQ Aquaris M10 FHD Betatester

        2020-Now : PinePhone Braveheart & CE UBports
        2020-Now (Family/Daily use): Vollaphone Xenial
        2022-Now (Family/Daily use): Vollaphone 22 Focal

          @Bolly Vollaphone (yggdrasil) on 20.04 OTA-4. But this was also with OTA-3, maybe also earlier versions.

          BQ Aquaris E4.5 (UT 16.04)
          Vollaphone (UT 20.04)

            Too bad it's still on Xenial on that device. But on VollaPhone22 it works fine in Focal OTA-4 with the latest list.

              I hope some other users can give a feedback to this, maybe @domubpkm ?

                @kristatos Hello. Sorry, I don't use uAdBlockNG which personally doesn't satisfy me. I use a custom hosts file that I got from xenial and that i reinstalled.

                  Now I've made some tests:

                  • Copying the hosts-file from uAdblockNG (ca. 42 MB) manually to /etc/hosts ends up in the same 10-15s of waiting
                  • Copying an older hosts-file I had saved earlier from Xenial (ca. 10 MB) works like expected, maybe 1-2 seconds of waiting

                  While waiting these 10-15 seconds I've checked the cpu-usage via top. The process "systemd-resolve" takes up 100%. So in my opinion the hosts file generated from uAdBlockNG is way too big for the performance of the volla.

                    @kristatos I hope that the blocklist selection system will one day be returned and perhaps integrated into morph-browser.

                      @domubpkm That's right. The old uadblock (unde xenial) had this selection of blocklists. After reading a bit of source code of uAdblockNG I think it wouldn't be very difficult to modify this app to also have this selection like in earlier days, because all of these single hardcoded blocklists where merged into this one big hosts-file. So if there will be an option to choose which of them should be included, it would help to decrease the size of the hosts-file.

                        Certainly not simple because it would have already been done. 😐
