Re: EasyList - addressing ethics & confusion
It seems that in July I mistakenly added a filter string to the EasyList that started a domino affect between Mozilla, Google and Adsense advertisers last month. The reason for the domino effect was that the EasyList update (with that string in it) coincided with the release of the latest Firefox. ...

Re: To sites that demand we see the ads - "Walk the walk"!
A-freaking-men! I have been forced out of one site for using Ad Block Plus, or Konqueror's adblocker: http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s59/ ... locker.png

I know where to find one!

You can get a list of domains or IP addresses from there--just specify what type of list you'd like!

Re: Firefox not working as well after update [tip]
Haha, that makes me glad I'm running Kubuntu where updates come in the form of packages that overwrite old versions.

I've noticed that there are ads on SonicStadium's forums that are not blocked. Unfortunately you need an account to see the forum at all, at http://www.sonicstadium.org/board One such ad is at http://b1.perfb.com/o1.php?ID=1795&PURL=greatgaming.at/sonicstadium That seems to be the only missed ad...

Re: Is this the end of Thunderbird?
I would not be surprised.
However, I use an operating system that's mostly based on software that's developed as a hobby, so I don't think this means the end of Thunderbird.
(But I use KMail anyway. )

Re: [Stats] Subscription Filter Stats
Dang, now I'm wishing I could use EasyList in Opera and Konqueror. G's filters are the best for Konq (well, they're the most popular in Konq anyway), and I've found a couple for Opera. (Opera's adblocker seems to be like Konqueror's but without regexp support.) I also have to say that G's filters wo...

Re: Gran Paradiso (Firefox 3.0 alphas)
Just advice, but for stability I would wait till the first beta comes out. And then it will (suppose to) have all the new features set.. so that would be best for what you want to test. Fx3 also messes with lots of things and (from what I've read) it's hard to go back to 2.x because of them. Like i...

Re: Gran Paradiso (Firefox 3.0 alphas)
Have you tried disabling version checking for extensions. Then any extension can install without problem.. it being compatible is another issue however. But you wouldn't have to hack a thing. Here is instructions I did once. I don't know if this works on Linux or not, but I don't see why it wouldn'...

I didn't realized that the pre and present Firefox versions were such a PITA on Linux. Sounds like a rough time. I'm very happy to hear that the compatibility problems are being addressed. I've heard some very encouraging things about Firefox 3 and may just give Gran Paradiso a try. This is great n...

Gran Paradiso (Firefox 3.0 alphas)
I used to like Firefox 1.0, but with 1.5 and 2.0, they really turned it into a bloated and slow product, at least on Linux. (I stopped using Windows before Firefox was popular, so I really don't know what it was like on Windows. I am a Kubuntu Feisty user and am using KDE.) I kept hitting bugs that ...

Hahaha, EasyList doesn't block image number 4! :lol: I know. That's pretty funny as I don't use that particular blocking string. It must drive the guy crazy who made that. :) I probably should have mentioned that in my first post. :? Hahaha, it wasn't an actual ad, though, so I actually think that'...

Wow. It's one thing if your Internet connection is free, but since you probably paid for it, that's just evil.

Can you use EasyList in Konqueror?
Hi, I was just wondering if there's a way to use EasyList in Konqueror with its built-in ad blocker. I know it supports Filterset.G, but Konqueror doesn't support whitelisting yet, so I get many false-positives with it.
