Looking at my default whitelist I thought it was odd anything was on there since I haven't put anything on it. I went ahead and deleted these then clicked apply and reloaded. They instantly came back. I went ahead and appended them w/ ! to disable. They then disappeared but popped up on the "my filters" list appended with the same "!" meaning they weren't actually being applied there. I went ahead and deleted that list and now they're fully gone. My internet browsing speed jumped instantly and insanely fast on this shit chromebook I sometimes browse on.
Can anyone else test this?
This was the default whitelist. Seemed odd to me. I've read a couple gorhill posts discussing it. I'm wondering if I'm being filtered in some way. I haven't noticed an increase in ads at all by disabling and I didn't see a direct reference as to what these actually do when I briefly searched. Does anyone else have these same default whitelist settings?

Ok in Chrome with uBlock Origin, the whitelist is blank. In Firefox with uBlock Origin, the whitelist has the same entries that you do.
I just manually deleted the whitelist entries in Firefox, saved, closed firefox, re-opened and the whitelist is still blank so it didn't auto-populate, but I suppose if uBlock Origin has an update, it might restore default entries.

It's possible that I had manually deleted the whitelist in chrome in the past, because I do tend to fiddle with things and tend to delete stuff I don't recognize.
