As Ukrainians could not find their language in the list, they closed the Filters tab without getting anything configured. Usability issuesĪnother problem was that the description of the Russian filter had no mention of the Ukrainian language. We got so many filtering rules for Ukrainian websites that it was time to create a separate filter. A huge number of Ukrainian websites and advertising networks appeared. Over time, the Internet has become more diverse.

For a long time, Runet ad networks were used throughout the post-Soviet space (which was convenient: Runet is the second largest segment of the Internet).

There was no need for a separate filter for each of the languages, and the Russian filter was sufficient for the entire segment.Īdvertising networks were also somewhat different. There were far fewer websites in general, and even fewer in the languages of post-Soviet countries. One filter is no longer enoughĪbout 15 years ago, when the Russian filter was created, the Internet looked different. This time, we focused on making it more convenient for the Ukrainians to set up ad blocking and transferred all rules for Ukrainian websites from the Russian filter to a separate one. Without properly selected filters, the quality of ad blocking can suffer ( learn why and what filters are).
