## Features
- __Optimized:__ The blocklists have 5 times fewer domains than all its aggregated and combined source lists, due to removed duplicates and junk.
- __Any device:__ Compatible with all devices which support AdGuard, regardless of OS.
- __Blockings:__ Strictly blocks `advertisements, analytics, malwares, ransomware, scam, spam, spyware, telemetry & trackers` and prevents your system from connecting to them.
- __Page load time:__ Quicker loading and cleaner looking web pages with fewer distractions.
- __Privacy:__ Helps to `increase privacy` by blocking online trackers.
- __Efficient:__ Lower resource waste (bandwidth, CPU, memory, battery etc.).
- __Well maintained:__ Domains are regularly updated and false-positives will be addressed quickly. Whitelist PrivacyGate already applied to all block lists.

## Installation
Follow the instructions for your specific platform below to successfully implement the list.
For best performance I **recommend adding the white list** also to your AdGuard positive filters/whitelists. This ensures less false-positives, especially when using PrivacyShield in combination with other block lists.
