### Comment
> I propose creating the AdGuard Polish Filter.
>
> # Why is the AdGuard Polish Filter necessary?
>
> ## Internet Usage
>
> According to the W3C, the amount of content on the Internet by language is as follows:
> https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/content_language
> Let’s focus on the languages for which AdGuard does not have its own filters:
>
> - Italian: 2.8%
> - Polish: 1.8%
> - Czech & Slovak (combined): 1.3%
>
> Polish is a widely used language on the internet, more so than Turkish or Chinese.
>
> ## Number of Rules in AdGuard
>
> Furthermore, ad blocking is very popular in Poland, and AdGuard has received a large number of issues related to it.
>
> As a result, in the foreign languages section of the AdGuard Base Filter, Polish rules are disproportionately numerous, accounting for about one-third of the total.
> https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/blob/master/BaseFilter/sections/foreign.txt
>
> Currently, the number of Polish rules in the foreign languages section of the Base Filter has already surpassed the number of rules in the AdGuard Dutch Filter.
>
> ## Benefits of Creating an AdGuard Polish Filter
>
> There are many benefits.
>
> - Polish speakers will find it easier to use the extensive set of Polish rules in the AdGuard Base Filter for various purposes. For example, when using uBlock Origin, they will be able to select AdGuard’s Polish rules without having to use the AdGuard Base Filter.
> - There are benefits for non-Polish speakers as well. Currently, the large number of Polish rules included in the base filter are unnecessary for non-Polish speakers, yet nearly all users are forced to have them as part of the base filter. Since reducing the number of rules is a key challenge for MV3 browser extensions and mobile environments, separating them into a standalone file will help conserve rule count.
> - This is just speculation, but there may also be benefits for filter maintainers. There are a great many Polish-language issues, and a standalone file might be easier to manage.
>
> # How will this be implemented?
>
> There is no need to add new rules. AdGuard’s Polish rules are already very comprehensive.
>
> - First, move the Polish rules from the foreign languages section of the AdGuard Base Filter to a separate file.
> - Merge that file with the “Official Polish Filters” and “Polish Anti Adblock Filters” to create the AdGuard Polish filter.
> - The “Official Polish Filters” and “Polish Anti Adblock Filters” were previously marked as AdGuard’s recommended filters; remove this designation.
>
> Please consider this.
