adblock with easylist.txt for luakit, vimb, lariza and others

jun7 · 2018-01-03 03:23:10

Hi
I had made a adblock extension for wyeb by copying
https://github.com/GNOME/epiphany/tree/ … -extension
Since it is webkit2gtk's extension, it should work on other webkit2gtk browsers.
So I tried it with following browsers and it works.

luakit
sudo ln -s /lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so /lib/luakit

vimb
sudo ln -s /lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so /lib/vimb

lariza
mkdir -p ~/.config/lariza/web_extensions
ln -s /lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so ~/.config/lariza/web_extensions

The extension is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wyebadblock-git/.
Install it and copy the easylist.txt to ~/.config/wyebadblock/

If your browser is not in the above list,
search 'webkit_web_context_set_web_extensions_directory' in source code
and make link from the dir to the wyebadblock as above.

Thank you.

Wonderful, I will test with vimb, ASAP.

EDIT: this doesn't seem to work, I did install the aur package, did the ln -s step, and copied the easylist.txt, I am getting even more ads as compared to my /etc/hosts based blocking.

Thank you for reporting.
What says the testing page below?
http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/

I tested it with vimb-git. which version of vimb do you use?

Testing adblocking: Not working
Testing element hiding: Not working

Seems perfect but adbloking is not working. Hmm.
Other conditions are
- echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is blank.
- Have to copy the easylist.txt before the extension is loaded. So have to close all vimb.
- I tested it only with default settings. Is there any settings what disables extensions of vimb?

If you made the pkg by makepkg, following steps can check whather wyebadblock found the easylist.txt or not.

cd src/wyebadblock
make cssoutput
./cssoutput

wyebadblock will crash if the easylist.txt is not found.

It was misunderstanding on my part as I had copied contents of easylist.txt to .config/wyebadblock instead of copying to .config/wyebadblcock/easylist.txt

now
Testing adblocking: Tested OK
Testing element hiding: Not working

Ah, I will add '/' to the description.

Testing element hiding: not warking is normal. it is not supported.
Even the ./cssoutput outputs css though in my experience, large user css crashes webkit2gtk.

Thank you!
