Just because their invalid only means they're not used.
I don't think that filters, which are considered by uBO invalid, will properly do their job anyway.

That is probably clear to everyone.

I am not fully convinced that these values are really meaningful. The filter engine is very old, and the modern filter lists contain more and more syntax which presumably can't be executed successfully by it.

Mozilla does not use XP's cert store.
This thread updates XP's cert store and will not affect any browser's INTERNAL cert store, it will only effect the OS cert store.
Two different stores entirely.
Yep! And that's a good example why TLS protocols and certain cipher suites can be used in Windows XP although this OS can't handle them natively.

Open the logger and perform an update of your filter lists in the legacy version! Then you will see what I am talking about.
What are we looking for? I didn't notice any particular warnings about filterlist incompatibilities.
When updating filter lists in the legacy extension, you will see many entries in the logger considered invalid filters by uBO. At least, I see them.

More lists enabled = the slowest your broswer is
In theory yes but practically no.
2 hours ago, Felipefpl said:Also, like i said, you dont need a lot of lists to block an ad, just the adblocker needs to be improved.
And who will do that? As @UCyborg and me already stated, uBlock Origin is one of the most complex extensions. He called it rightly a "beast" that is difficult to tame. And it is hard work to implement or port such improvements from the webextension. And it is not even certain that they will work as expected.Therefore, we have to use more and good filter lists to get similar results in blocking at the moment when using the legacy extension. This is my assessment so far. We will see what happens in the future.
In any case, I didn't get such ads you observed on the website www.ovagames.com.

That's a lot of filters.
But surely we dont need all those lists, i use even less lists on firefox with ublock 1.57 and all ads are blocked as they should be.
To block most elements or objects whatever they are, you surely need more filter lists in the last legacy versions of uBlock Origin than in the webextension. A lot of filters are consindered invalid by the legacy extension due to the old filter engine which lags almost 6 years behind the webextension in terms of development. Open the logger and perform an update of your filter lists in the legacy version! Then you will see what I am talking about.
In any case, I get a lot of notifications about invalid filters when checking the logger. But one thing I can say without any further proofs. You are using too few filter lists to block as much as possible with the legacy extension.

Just what I say. I use much more filter lists than you. Two of them you have enabled are not used in my installation.
When I am back at my desktop computer, I will provide a screenshot of my current configuration for better comparison. 
What I definitely know at this moment is that in my uBlock Origin Legacy installation of New Moon 28, I have enabled 21 filter lists plus my self-created filters under the tab "My filters".

BTW, I do not watch YouTube videos in browsers under Windows XP.
YouTube has become bloated and cumbersome for many years. Under Windows XP and older, weaker machines, there are different ways to watch them more unbloated and less resource-consuming. @NotHereToPlayGames One way is to use the extension uTube from RealityRipple Software for UXP browsers. Doing so, you won't see any ads, even not these annoyances at the end of the Adblocker Test Video. 
All you have to do is to edit the install.rdf to make it compatible with New Moon 28 or Serpent 52.

Strange, must be because you are using new moon instead of basilisk.
Or, you are using other filter lists than me which is probably more true.

I have been reading this and ran the test video using @UCyborg's uBlock Origin 1.16.6b1
on PM latest and didn't see anything not even at the end.
Maybe on Pale Moon, but in any case not on New Moon 28 when using @UCyborg's uBlock Origin 1.16.6b1 or uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35.

Newest PM28, newest uBO Legacy mod, updated default lists, added the two lists mentioned in our other OT discussion.
This video show ads for me in UXP PM28 whereas my Chromium setup does not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-lUGSJ9kiE
Maybe you don't call this an "ad", maybe technically it isn't, but it is an "annoyance" and my Chromium setup blocks this "pos" -
Play the video all the way through, without fast-forwarding, these are most definitely ads and my Chromium setup blocks them (but requires two ad blockers working side-by-side) -
The whole test video does not show any ads. In the last 10 seconds before it is ending, it shows a notification for an optional subscription and a preview image of the next video which would start automatically if autoplay is on. Sorry, I don't consider this to be advertising. And I don't believe that this can be fully blocked by an ad blocker. This is just an assumption, of course.
I said: "And I don't believe that this can be fully blocked by an ad blocker. This is just an assumption, of course." This was really just an assumption, and I was wrong. Both elements can be fully blocked by uBlock Origin Legacy.
Here is the code:

But to be honest, it is of course not worth the efforts. These two elements do not bother me at all.
Cheers, AstroSkipper

Can you please provide a screenshot with all filter lists you have enabled on the tab "Filter lists"? This would be easier to compare with the ones I have enabled.

I have opened the website www.ovagames.com again by New Moon 28 with a fully configured uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35. No problems here. No additional pop-ups or any other ads.
Surfing there is easy and smooth.
I see, but did you click anywhere in the site once in a while? That's when the ads' reports come or when ads from aliexpress are opened.
Btw, the site igg-games.com suffers from the same situation.
I clicked everywhere on this site www.ovagames.com and its sub-sites. No pop-ups. No ads. Nothing.

uBO will prevent the ad from PLAYING but it still SHOWS the ad.
At least for Chromium-based.
In contrast to UXP browsers such as New Moon 28, all current Chrome browsers are extremely limited and restricted. Webextensions don't have the permissions that legacy extensions have. This is one of the main reasons why I avoid Chrome browsers when I can.
Nevertheless, provide a link to the YouTube video where ads are still shown despite blocking by uBO!

An interesting thing happened in the site i reported: www.ovagames.com - although the problem with anti-adblock was solved (thanks again AstroSkipper) when you click anywhere in the site ads are opened and they are blocked but sometimes another tab is opened displaying a message saying that the link was reported as bad by easylist. This doesnt happen with firefox with the latest ublock versions.
If you compare the behaviour of the legacy extension with the webextension, you should only use the same filter lists in both. And you also have to look at which filter lists you combine with each other in order to achieve an optimum result. But one thing is clear. The legacy extension lags almost 6 years behind the webextension in terms of development. This means that the latter uses a much more advanced filter engine than the legacy version.

I was really attempting to AVOID having a GIGANTIC number of lists (ie, I was trying to keep the number lists UNDER SIX).
In my New Moon 28 profile, I have enabled 21 filter lists plus my self-created filters under the tab "My filters". I can't notice any serious impact caused by New Moon 28 (at the moment, 318 MB RAM usage by palemoon.exe).

I'm going to keep my current setup.
I only need *ONE* list to block YouTube ads but it is not a uBO list, it's ONE list inside "AdBlock - best ad blocker".
It defeats the purpose if I need to extend my FIVE uBO lists to TWENTY-SOME lists.
My five uBO + one "AdBlock - best ad blocker" seems just fine for my needs.
If your list would have worked for uBO to block YouTube ads by using six or seven lists instead of five but one extension instead of two, that would have been a step in the right direction.
But jumping my 5 lists up to 20-some, nope, I'll pass. But thanks again for the suggested TWO lists, but no, adding those two lists did not prevent the need for my one extra extension.
I would never use two ad blockers at once. uBlock Origin is totally sufficient and can block most things. But it has to be configured correctly. Your five lists are not sufficient. Even the two YouTube lists can't change that. All filter lists under "Built-in" should be enabled. But uBO can do much more. You can remove annoying elements from websites and create your own filters, and so on.
And BTW, one further extension consumes more resources than enabling a few filter lists in uBO.

Seems the LISTS between uBO-Mozilla and uBO-Chromium are DIFFERENT. I see nothing called "quick fixes" and nothing called "goodbyeads-youtube".
BTW, you can't find them there. These list were added in my mod uBlock Origin Legacy by myself. Anyway! Using uBlock Origin and a sufficient number of good filter lists means no ads in YouTube videos.

Didn't work but thanks for providing the list info.
What didn't work?
You should enable all built-in filter lists and some more. And import both YouTube lists!
