Would be nice if this was integrated with EasyList but it isn't for whatever reason.

[terrorist96]

If I open a new issue there, the template literally says

Opening issues for adding new filter lists is now disallowed and such issues will be declined and closed.

So that's not the correct place to report.

[terrorist96]

@mapx- can you re-open, since uBlock-issues is not the correct place to post this.

[mapx-]

Usually, when we get a malicious domain it will be added to ublock filters the specific filter (killing the popups, redirects; often such external scripts are prepared using inline scripts which are killed by our filters). Lastly the specific domain is added as well to ublock filters.

There are also the malware domains where someone could report such domains.

[terrorist96]

So can we merge the list into ublock filters?

[mapx-]

There are a lot of dead domains, other already in easylist. There is no good reason to add such a list (> 14.000 filters !)

No new lists will be added to the stock filter lists at the moment, if that changes it could be added to the Multipurpose section, but it will certainly not be merged into uBO-filters or enabled by default.

[LanikSJ]

Let me know what I can do to make the process of approval easier. @smed79 just dropped 4.000 lines from the filters he submitted.

[okiehsch]

It is not about approval really, right now no new lists will be added to the stock filter lists in fact the goal is to reduce the number of lists in the regional section if possible.
I would be in favour of adding your list to the Multipurpose section if this changes and I told gorhill as much.

[LanikSJ]

I have no problem with that as long as it's open to everyone with an easy ✅.

[terrorist96]

Why not divide it up? Add the anti-adblock bypass parts to uBlock filters, add the privacy parts of the list to uBlock Privacy, add the mining parts to the uBlock Resource abuse list, etc.

[okiehsch]

Just at a quick glance more than 400 of the 486 domains of the mining part are duplicates of EasyPrivacy or uBlock Resource abuse filters and more will be redundant because of filters in those lists.
Like I said already it will certainly not be merged into uAssets, if you can point to specific issues/filters that comply with https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/README.md they can be added.
