> I immediately found a few potential tracking issues with its default lists

I am curious: what are these "few potential tracking issues" specifically?

Whatever default lists uBO is using, unlike with ABE (which is essentially ABP filtering engine), users have the last words in what is blocked:

- The `important` filter option can be used to override exception filters.[1]

- Dynamic filtering override all static filters.[2] For example, you do not need a special filter list to block Facebook everywhere, it's a matter of a few point-and-click to block it everywhere without any way for any static filter to counter it.[3]
