In AdGuard filters there're over 1000 "redirect" rules.
~800 of them are different kinds of "noop" rules.

There's an important thing about them, though. About ~100of them are different versions of "noopvast" and "noopvmap" - special "stubs" for replacing VAST/VPAID XML files (files with video ads metadata).

I haven't checked exact numbers, but I am pretty sure the situation with uBlock Origin filters is similar to ours. 

Here're the full sources for static non-JS "stubs" we're using:
