## <a name="sources"></a> Which sources are used for the lists and how are the lists compiled on the basis of these sources?
My lists are not a blunt one-to-one copy from other sources. The versions are compiled individually using basic sources, own extensions, domain categories and Top 1M lists (Umbrella, Cloudflare, Tranco, Chrome, DomCop, ...).
My lists are not a blunt one-to-one copy from other sources. The versions are compiled individually using basic sources, own extensions, domain categories, newly registered domains (NRDs) and Top 1M lists (Umbrella, Cloudflare, Tranco, Chrome, DomCop, ...).
False positives and dead domains are removed. Domains reported by the community have been added.
Furthermore, I regularly analyse logs in several networks to find potentially blockable domains that have not yet been blocked.
Wherever possible, only native sources are used as basic sources, not lists that have already been combined.
The total base list from which the domains for the individual lists are extracted currently comprises ~40M domains. This also includes the domains from the top 1M lists of the last 12+ months. This merged top list is used, among other things, to identify popular domains.
