Added a new list to be managed by µBlock: " µBlock filters - Privacy".

Consider this list experimental, hence it is off by default.

I use the term "experimental" really just because I don't have the resource to take care of testing everything etc.

I will put in this list the obvious hostnames which should be blocked for privacy-related reasons, and whatever ever else I can find in the benchmark results which I believe should also make the list.

The first candidate which made the list was addthis.com, because obvious.

CAVEAT: There is so many exception filters in EasyList, EasyPrivacy and Fanboy's lists that it's just impossible to guarantee that whatever I put in " µBlock filters - Privacy" will actually be enforced with a 100% certainty.

The only way for sure you can block something is to install and use HTTP Switchboard. If you don't like to break sites, I suggest you start in allow-all/block-exceptionally mode and blacklist whatever you wish as you go.

You may want to read more also about the latest release of HTTP Switchboard if you plan to install it alongside µBlock (suggested).
