| Domains | Domains-only variant of the Platinum filter list | 34M | 1.779.651 |  |
| Hosts | Hosts variant of the Platinum filter list | 48M | 1.779.651 |  |
| White List | White list applied to all filter lists | 16M | 645.414 |  |
Follow the instructions for your specific platform below to successfully implement the list. For best performance I recommend adding the white list also to your AdGuard positive filters/whitelists. This ensures less false-positives, especially when using PrivacyShield in combination with other block lists.
