A slight bit of crucial maintenance

[DandelionSprout]

Greetings, Dandelion Sprout here, the maintainer of Dandelion Sprout's Nordic Filters and a general adblocking enthusiast.

Having learned about AdNauseam yesterday, I decided to make this pull request to see how much this extension was being worked on, and whether or not the project intended to strive for functional equivalence with uBlock Origin. What it does, is:

• Synchronised the regional lists with those of uBO.
• • Most crucially, Finnish Addition to Easylist should've been removed half a year ago, as it was first ousted from major adblockers due to the maintainer making blocking rules against labour union sites as a whole all of a sudden, followed by him removing all entries in his list.
• Fixed the Chrome download link in the readme.
• Changed some links in the readme from HTTP to HTTPS.
• Removed the CONTRIBUTING.md file, as it quite obviously didn't apply to the AdNauseam repo.

Good!

Thanks @DandelionSprout. We are indeed still working actively on ADN and would love to get it in sync with UBO, though a) we are quite strapped for dev resources, and b) we stay generally a few releases behind UBO. We are about to release a new version of ADN, based on UBO v1.17.0, which should include your PR. But any addtl thoughts on how better to stay in sync with the various list maintainers would be great.

based on UBO v1.17.0, which should include your PR.

Nope! Various changes have been done to the uBO version of assets.json after 1.17.0, including the removal of Finnish Addition to EasyList and the strangely maintained ABP Japanese Filters. After all, I based this pull request on AdNauseam's assets.json file as it appeared after the Merge branch 'upstream1.17.0' into merge1.17.0-titled commit. From my occasional involvement in uBO, I can also tell that any changes done to the assets.json file would go live to all users of all version numbers within minutes, as that particular file is version-independent.

I also see no reason to not update the GitHub repo's readme links either.

Sorry, I meant that once I check and merge this PR, it will be included in our next release.

[DandelionSprout]

...Aaaaah. That makes more sense. I too am sorry for originally misreading you.

As for how to get in touch with maintainers, a handful of maintainers and uBO team members can be found and contacted at DandelionSprout/adfilt#7, and there's been some very recent small attempts at establishing a forum at https://hub.filterlists.com/ as well.
