ProtoConsent Data

Tracker blocklists organized by purpose

Browser extension · Blocklists · Website

Curated domain blocklists organized by data-processing purpose: ads, analytics, personalization, third-party services, advanced tracking, and security. Unlike traditional blocklists that combine everything into a single file, these lists let you choose what to block based on why a domain exists, not just what it is.

Part of the ProtoConsent project. Available on the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons. Blocklists can be used independently.

Lists

1. Core - Ads + Analytics + Personalization + Third Parties + Advanced Tracking
2. Full - Everything in Core plus phishing, scam and malware
3. Per-purpose - Individual lists for granular control

Each list comes in two versions:

• Standard - Curated set with lower false-positive risk. Recommended for most users.
• Extended - Broader coverage with more domains, but higher chance of overblocking.

Core - All tracking purposes

Format	Standard	Extended	Use with
ABP	Link	Link	uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, Ghostery
AdGuard	Link	Link	AdGuard browser extension
Hosts	Link	Link	Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, /etc/hosts
Domains	Link	Link	Plain domain list, one per line
JSON	Link	Link	Browser extensions, custom tools

Full - All purposes including security

Everything in Core plus phishing, scam and malware domains.

Format	Standard	Extended	Use with
ABP	Link	Link	uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, Ghostery
AdGuard	Link	Link	AdGuard browser extension
Hosts	Link	Link	Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, /etc/hosts
Domains	Link	Link	Plain domain list, one per line
JSON	Link	Link	Browser extensions, custom tools

Per-purpose lists

For granular control, subscribe only to the purposes you want to block. Same 5 formats, same Standard/Extended versions.

Purpose	Standard	Extended	Description
Ads	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	Advertising, remarketing and affiliation campaigns
Analytics	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	Measurement, statistics and usage analytics
Personalization	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	Content/UX personalization, recommendations, A/B testing
Third Parties	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	Third-party data sharing beyond the core service
Advanced Tracking	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	Fingerprinting and cross-site device tracking
Security	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	ABP | AdGuard | Hosts | Domains | JSON	Phishing, scam, malware and malicious domains

See LISTS.md for format details.

ProtoConsent lists may overlap with other blocklists you already use (EasyList, HaGeZi, etc.). uBlock Origin deduplicates rules automatically; AdGuard does not. If you notice performance issues in AdGuard, consider removing lists that overlap.

Why purpose-based lists?

Most blocklists are organized by source (EasyList, HaGeZi, OISD) or by threat type (ads, malware). ProtoConsent lists are organized by data-processing purpose, aligned with how privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) categorize data use:

• Want analytics but not ads? Subscribe to protoconsent_ads only.
• Running a privacy-first setup? Subscribe to all six.
• Building a consent-aware tool? Use the JSON format with purpose metadata.

ProtoConsent extension data

The enhanced/ directory contains runtime data for the ProtoConsent browser extension: third-party blocking lists converted to JSON, cosmetic filtering rules, CMP banner signatures, CNAME tracker maps, URL parameter stripping data, regional filters, and a hotfix list for domains removed between extension releases. The extension fetches these from CDN when the user enables Enhanced Protection.

For per-file details, see LISTS.md.

Scripts

All scripts are in scripts/. Requires Node.js 18+. No dependencies.

Script	Description
generate-full-lists.js	Generates all blocklists. Outputs ABP, AdGuard, hosts, domains, and JSON to lists/.
validate-lists.js	Validates all inputs and outputs for correctness. Runs automatically before each commit in CI.
convert.js	Fetches upstream blocklists, parses them (ABP, hosts, and plain domain formats), deduplicates, and outputs JSON blocking files.
convert-cosmetic.js	Fetches EasyList, extracts element-hiding rules, and outputs a cosmetic JSON file.
convert-cname.js	Fetches AdGuard's CNAME tracker lists, merges categories, and outputs an indexed lookup map.
convert-autoconsent.js	Fetches Autoconsent rule files, extracts CMP selectors, and builds three output files.
convert-tracking-params.js	Fetches AdGuard TrackParamFilter and Dandelion Sprout, extracts $removeparam names, and outputs two JSON files.
convert-regional.js	Fetches EasyList and AdGuard regional filters, outputs blocking + cosmetic per region.
generate-manifest.js	Reads metadata from all enhanced files and outputs config/enhanced-lists.json.
