Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

When "My filters" list is deactivated in the "Filters list", users are confused that adding custom filters in the "My filters" tab doesn't work, because they don't notice the whole thing is disabled.

I would like to suggest showing a message on the "My filters" tab page when the "My filters" list isn't enabled.

This is especially an issue for Mullvad Browser users, since the "My filters" list is disabled by default, for browser fingerprinting concerns (custom filters could make you more uniquely identifiable).

(FYI, I'm working for Mullvad on the Mullvad Browser)
