      By doing that you’re wasting bandwidth on all the CDNs that hosts ALL your filter lists. Updating the Quick fixes list should be enough. (Which updates every 5 hours automatically on uBO 1.54).

      How to manually update Quick Fixes (Manual updates push back automatic updates.)

      • Click 🛡️ uBO’s icon
      • the ⚙ Dashboard button
      • the Filter lists pane
      • the 🕘 clock icon next to the uBlock filters – Quick fixes list
      • the 🔃 Update now button.

        mate, that won’t even scratch a single server’s bandwidth, much less that of a CDN.

          @[email protected] is right, the following FAQ is from the uBO’s YouTube Mega Thread on reddit.

          How often should I manually update filter lists? Can I somehow automate this?

          YouTube filters are in a list named uBlock filters - Quick fixes. The list updates every 12 hours. It’s the only list you might need to update - only if this page says it’s fixed, but you’re getting the message.

          If you’re not getting detected. Don’t update. Current estimated cost for just ONE of uBO’s CDNs: HERE. This is with other lists updating every few days. uBO’s not a company, it’s a volunteer project using free services, which have limits that we cannot cross.
