Does ADguard dedup the block lists?

Never encountered it before, and you didn't provide any useful details. I suggest you go here to ask: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/discussions

Hello. The rules within one filtering engine are deduplicated. Is that what you meant by “deduping the block lists”?

[TheSilentChirp]

Example: pfblockerng downloads blocklists from various repositories and then checks for duplicate host names / IPs so that when you query DNS/IP record it does not check twice; thus improving performance.

Thanks.

Yes, the rules from the lists that you add on the “DNS blocklists” page are compiled into a single filtering engine that deduplicates the rules.
