I didn't run into any issue by enabling all (excluding language specific).
Did you run into any? Or are you talking about being too much load?
I didn't even try. As far as I know there are a few well maintained lists that also are fairly complete. They're even split into sub-categories so you can choose to visit facebook or have mildly annoying things, or not.
Those happen to be the lists that are enabled per default in most adblockers.
And there are lists that haven't been maintained in months or years. And lists that are known to break websites because the filtering rules aren't that well programmed.
I don't see any reason for me to enable those. I mean your mileage may vary and they might not do you any harm or break the specific sites you like to frequent.
Fair.
Hmm. I had another look on my laptop. I might have to revise my answer: I have all the 5 uBlock lists, EasyList plus EasyList Germany and EasyPrivacy... And a few smaller ones are enabled, too. BUT I don't think those unmaintained lists I mentioned show up in uBlock anyways. So you might be fine enabling all of them.
I still think it doesn't helps after some point... But it's definitely not as bad as I said earlier... At some point I'll have to brush up my knowledge.
