[Feature Request] Hit Counter for Personal Filters

[ayuanx]

Is it possible to add a hit counter for each personal filter? (Public filter list without counter is fine.) Since all webpages change frequently, without a filter hit counter, after several months, it is impossible to tell which ones are obsolete.

The hit counter would be a very effective way to discover and clean up outdated personal filters.

This would indeed be useful

Please consider this! I use ublock with my own filter list, no external lists, and this would be very useful (eventually with an on/off switch for performance reasons).

For maintenance and so performance reasons hit counter could be really useful but NOT only for personal filters:

• For personal filters to clean unused/obsoletes filters
• For dynamic filtering rules to clean unused/obsoletes rules
• For the 3rd-party filters, it would show how a 3rd-party filter is used and if it's worth loading it.

As written in the wiki "The more filter lists are selected, the higher the likelihood of web site breakage. The quality of the selected filter lists also affects the likelihood of web site breakage."

It's more a maintenance feature (a checkbox unchecked by default) which help the user to keep the filters, rules up to date.

Ping!

Any news on this? Since you removed the declined label on February last year I has hoping you were considering the request, but I haven't found any development (pun intended) on the issue.

Really a duplicate of #983.
