Problem description

Currently, AdGuard uses part of AdGuard Base filters list to fix an incorrect blocking issue while AdGuard stealth option is enabled.

Due to current filters lists optimization configuration of AdGuard, a stealth exception filter can be excluded from complied one. And, I think that purpose of the stealth exception filter and adblocking filter existing in AdGuard Base filters list are different. Finally, a user who use AdGuard stealth option without AdGuard Base filters list and does not visit international websites [^1] for better performance may suffer.

[^1]: Including English-language websites.

Proposed solution

I propose new filters list that only contains stealth exception filters and remove them from AdGuard Base filters list. Also, if a user enables the option, the filters list will be enabled automatically.

Tbh, I don't like the idea of having a separate list for fixing stealth.

Can't we fix this instead?

I agree with this.

What if we add /notOptimized to this file?
