I have collected a bunch of filters, both subscriptions and custom, and set a lot of exceptions and specific rules on ABP on my Firefox. Trying out uBlock, Is there a way to cleanly transfer all those filters and exceptions without manually having to set each individual filter and exception manually again?
Adding subscriptions is easy enough, because uBlock has a tab specifically for adding subscriptions, but that doesn't include the custom filters/exceptions I've accumulated.
I'm aware that ABP has this "Create new Backup" feature which I might be able to assume can be used to move the filters to uBlock. Will copy-pasting that created backup to uBlock's "My Filters" tab apply every filter rule and exception from ABP or is there a different way to use it? That "My Filters" tab mentioned that a filter can be an "Adblock Plus-compatible filter" but does the ABP backup need some formatting for uBlock to be able to apply it?

Just add your subscriptions to the
3rd-party filters
tab, and copy and paste your custom filters to theMy filters
tab.You may also be interested in learning how to use dynamic rules to create new filters faster.
