+## Adding 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. |
