No, that's not true either. Updating rules is allowed. The restriction is about updating code.


Hmmm, according to this post [0], ad blocking lists must now be updated via store updates. Is that not the case?

>Remotely hosted code, or RHC, is what the Chrome Web Store calls anything that is executed by the browser that is loaded from someplace other than the extension's own files. Things like JavaScript and WASM. It does not include data or things like JSON or CSS.

Rules are not javascript or wasm.


If I recalled it correctly, Chrome's developers imposed a stricter limit on dynamically loaded (fetched) DNR rules. That's why updating rules with the store is the more conventional method.


Chrome allows for 300,000 static rules, 30,000 dynamic rules, and 5,000 session rules.

While not 1 to 1, for reference, EasyList has a little over 30,000 rules.
