I actually think that AdBlock-style syntax is superior to hosts blocklists, and instead, they should have urged blocklists maintainers to start using it so that there were more proper blocklists," Meshkov added. "And I think this is why they decided to drop support, they are just tired of people trying to use EasyList or EasyPrivacy in Pi-Hole and then dealing with lots of false positives. They were created specifically for the traditional ad blockers," Meshkov told ZDNet. "Most of the AdBlock-style filter lists are not supposed to be used in the DNS-level ad-blocking software. "This is mostly because there's no pattern-matching, and instead of having one rule like this ||^, there are 24917 subdomains." Dropping AdBlock-style blocklists is a "mistake"
