Disadvantages:
- High overhead creating/deleting network/cosmetic filters (high memory churn).
- Related: [Memory footprint: what happens inside uBlock after installation](./Memory-footprint:-what-happens-inside-uBlock-after-installation)
- In case of 3rd-party filter lists, forced to use all filters, including those which may not be wanted.
#### Why are rules "dynamic" and filters "static" if both are declarative?
"Static" means it must be "compiled" ahead-of-time before being used, and "dynamic" means it can effortlessly change at runtime:
- Rules: you can set rules with a simple mouse clicks in the user interface, they are virtually zero overhead to create/remove.
- Filters: all filters must be all reloaded in memory when adding/removing.
