Adblock in Konqueror
It seems like we finally are getting adblocking in Konqueror. Ivor Hewitt has posted a plugin at the bottom of this thread. Woho

Re: Adblock in Konqueror
I was going to look into Privoxy, but as I didn't find a working PKGBUILD, I put it on ice. Right-clicking a banner to block it would be nice, though.

As a side note: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/1001
Click 'Refresh' in your browser after you open the link. There's a weird problem with the server (I think it checks the HTTP referer on request since it's a generated page).

Re: Adblock in Konqueror
If the only thing I want to block is ad then I just use host file ad blocking but the adblock plugin can block something more so maybe this is a good decision.

Re: Adblock in Konqueror
IceRAM: Link is "forbidden", also when I tried yesterday.
fetreney2000: hosts files can be ok, but needs to be entered manually for each banner provider you meet, and does not work if content and ads are on the same server.
Adblock for Firefox is really The Best Thing Ever, and I hope Ivor's patch develop into something similar.

Re: Adblock in Konqueror
Added a comment on my previous post.
The site works when you don't open the link from inside another page. HTTP referer should probably be null and this is checked within the script generation page. A pretty annoying thing. I've seen sites filtering by HTTP Referer because they didn't want their pictures linked from other sites (thus denying other sites the use of the pictures which consumes their bandwidth).
