<p>Initial lists check against the beginning of the URL. Final lists check against the end of the URL. Domain lists only check against certain domains.
<p>Because of limitations in Android’s WebView, and to speed up processing of requests, Privacy Browser implements a simplified interpretation of the Adblock syntax.
This can sometimes lead to false positives, where resources are allowed or blocked in ways that weren’t intended by the original entry.
- A more detailed description of how the blocklist entries are processed is available at <a href="https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser/blocklists/">stoutner.com</a>.</p>

+ filters ads and trackers that EasyList and EasyPrivacy do not. The third blocks all third-party requests.
A request is only considered third-party if the base domain of the request is different than the base domain of the URL.
For example, if <code>www.website.com</code> loads a picture from <code>images.website.com</code>,
this is not blocked as a third-party request because they both share the same base domain of <code>website.com</code>.
- Blocking all third-party requests increases privacy, but this blocklist is disabled by default because it breaks a large number of websites.</p>
