-## Adding a filter list
+## Add a filter list
 
-Adblock Plus requires filter lists to block ads. A default filter list - EasyList -  based on your browser's language settings is automatically activated when you install Adblock Plus. It blocks ads from the most popular (often English language-based) websites. However, it does not block ads on less popular national websites. For example, if you live in Germany you should subscribe to the national German filter list.
-This filter list is detected as "EasyList Germany + EasyList". An overview of actively maintained filter lists can be found [here](https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions).

 **Tip**: As a recommendation, you should avoid adding too many filter lists to Adblock Plus. Adding too many filter lists slows down the ad blocker and, therefore, your browsing.
