Description (last modified by sebastian)
Background
The maximum number of content blocker rules in iOS and Safari, is currently limited to 50,000. In order to comply with that limit we currently ignore element hiding filters. However, there is a way to significantly reduce the number of generated element hiding rules, by merging filters to be applied on the same domain using a comma-separated list of CSS selectors.
What to change
Group generic element hiding filters, as well as element hiding filters to be applied on the same domain, together, to generate fewer content blocker rules.
Remove the workaround that causes element hiding filters to be ignored.
