Adblock is a content filtering plug-in for the Mozilla and Firebird browsers. It is both more robust and more precise than the built-in image blocker. Adblock allows the user to specify filters, which remove unwanted content based on the source-address. If this sounds complicated, don’t worry: it’s not. Just add a few filters. Every time a webpage loads, Adblock will intercept and disable the elements matching your filters. See?- nothing to it. Great! ...but how do I add filters? After you install / restart, an Adblock -item will be present in the tools -menu. This will launch Adblock’s prefs: A selected filter can be edited by double-clicking or pressing ’enter’. To remove it, press ’delete’. New filters can also be added here or directly in the web-page: just right-click an ad and choose the Adblock option. For plugins, an Adblock-tab will appear atop or below the media: just click the "Adblock" text. [ Note: if you encounter a plugin, but don’t see the Adblock-tab, don’t worrythe plugin is just cropped. Adblock has this covered. Choose "Overlay Flash" from the tools -menu, or type its shortcut. Now, you can directly click the overlay. ] Adblock supports two types of filters: simple, and Regular Expression. A simple-filter is just a string of text with one or more wildcards (*). Regular expressions are much more complex, allowing precise control over filtering. In Adblock, as in all javascript, regular expressions must begin and end with the forward-slash: ’/’. This page doesn’t have enough space to include a RegExp tutorial, so for more info, head here . Here’s a few examples of simple-filtering: Blocking all gif-images: .gif Blocking all content served from Doubleclick: doubleclick.net Blocking the contents of an ad-directory: http://example.com/ads/ In Development The latest dev-branch already includes: Blocking filtered-items before they load Listing all block-able items in a page One-click filtering of: applets, flash, embedded-media Hassle-free deinstall. And we’re targeting these items for future builds: Bayesian probability analysis, for minimal-interation blocking Filter Grouping by Host (regexp) Flash-Click-To-View functionality Contact Any comments, suggestions, bugreports, sites that can not be filtered are very welcome.
