+## 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.
