> gorhill has always been very mindful about what fumctionnality he put in uBo, and the potential risks associated with new features. For example, when ABP introduced a anti-tracking feature that could redirect `url.com/parameters/theurlis=example.com` to any other website (it should be [example.com](http://example.com), but ABP allowed any website), uBlock Origin held back, as a malicious list could redirect user to any (malicious) website.

Agreed, but there’s the existence of malicious filter lists or compromised ones that **Gorhill has no control of**. I trust Gorhill, but don’t trust him with my browsing history, cookies, and **everything** I type and do on websites, due to issues like [this](https://www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/common-threats/#security-and-privacy).

Here’s another [example](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/ublock-origin-filter-lists/17993/3).

Again, read [this](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/ublock-origin-filter-lists/17993/3) post that Jonah shared. Regarding that, I know many filter list maintainers are genuine, but I don’t want to risk my security for extra features.

I haven’t seen that brought up. Maybe a post could be created from that, since I’ve never considered that and probably others have neither as well.
