## What it is
EasyList is a set of community-maintained adblock filter lists (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, EasyList Cookie, Fanboy's Social/Annoyance/Notifications lists) that remove ads, trackers, cookie banners and other annoyances from web pages. The rules are consumed by ad blockers such as Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin and AdGuard.

## Use cases
- block ads on websites
- block trackers and web bugs
- remove cookie consent banners and GDPR overlays
- hide social media widgets and in-page popups
- subscribe a filter list in uBlock Origin or AdGuard
- prevent popups and popunders

## When to choose
- you use an ad blocker that supports Adblock-style filter subscriptions
- you want the most widely used, actively maintained English/international ad filter list
- you want a supplementary tracking-protection or cookie-banner list

## When to avoid
- your ad blocker does not support Adblock filter syntax
- you need programmatic network-level ad blocking rather than browser filter rules
- you need region-specific language lists not covered by EasyList
