How to add filters to adblock?

mjheagle8 · 2010-01-15 20:17:02

you can do global adblocking for your system with your /etc/hosts. check the wiki, its in there.

Just enable the adblock plugin, then Tools -> configure adverticing filters.

I added http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/easylist/easylist.txt but it doesn't seem to work.

I went to the easylist site and copied the link of the easy list adblockers

https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt

https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus. … rivacy.txt

Then pasted it in the adblock option window, should look something like this

Sometimes you need to restart the browser for it to take effect though

that address is wrong. It should begin with "http://" and not with "https://". Moreover, if you look calefully at what you've copied, you'll notice that midori wrongly "translates" https:// into http:://.

Another approach to archieve the adblock effect is to edit the config file of the filter as follows

[kjon@kjon-nc10 ~]$ cat .config/midori/extensions/libadblock.so/config 

[settings]
filters=http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/easylist/easylist.txt;

I had followed the steps to set the filters but still it doesn't work as good as in arora. I guess I should rely on the "hosts file" method or maybe switch to arora.
