I've now released FOP 1.4 (there weren't many significant changes in 1.3 so it wasn't announced). In this version repository clones can be specified via command line (Linux examples provided): ./FOP.py This command sets FOP to sort all subscription files in the current directory of the program and a...

Adverts must be blocked regardless of the reasons for their presence or the purpose that the money raised ultimately serves. EasyList only makes the objective decision of what is an advert; it is for individual users to make exceptions as they desire. Besides, as far as I could detect, the website ...

Version 1.2 has also been released. The program is now able to detect ":not(" at the exclusion of other similar CSS. This is version 1.2 because 1.1.1 is not a valid number and because I want to imitate Firefox - I intend to release FOP 342.9 by the end of the week.

Version 1.1 of FOP has been released. This version fixes the aforementioned problem with "|" and can identify tags more accurately.

Sorry, I'd forgotten about that syntax - I thought you were referring to regular expressions. I'm updating FOP now to prevent this from occurring and to correct a couple of regular expressions, but feel free to fix the filter yourself. I can't commit at the moment because my version of the repositor...

Interpreted in what manner?

FOP version 1.0 has been added to the repository. Please feel free to test the program.

The files have been moved the the EasyList combinations repository (https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/f43c67638c5a, https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/9a639a76969c and https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylistcomb ... ee0b1ee388).

I've added a little more error handling and validation with regard to Mercurial, but need a few filter suggestions to test the system.

Thanks, I have received the upload script and have found the Windows Mercurial commands are actually identical to those used in Linux, which is surprising but useful to know. I'll add the program to the EasyList combinations repository tomorrow after I've tinkered a little more and you and Khrin hav...

Anything - I think the commands are the same, but the location of the executable may not be. Your version of the update script should provide all the necessary commands, and I would therefore be grateful to know the commands contained within the file.

After I made FOP sample the first ten rules in a section to determine the filter type, the order of mixed sections has been settled . I'll just make a couple more alterations and then commit the program to the repository. MonztA and Khrin, what commands do Windows users have to run in terminals for ...

I have committed successfully ( https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/2d6b430492ca and https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylistgermany/rev/6e98473bcccf ), but have noticed that better detection of general element hiding rules will be required to prevent bbc.co.uk##.bbccom-advert and ##iframe[name^=&quo...

For now, only Easy Test and Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking could be merged ? Because both seem to experimental in that they both want to whitelist problematic domains and add the filters to enhance blocking. There are still questions that would need to be answered just with regard to this potential mer...

I have recently finished writing FOP (Filter Orderer and Preener), a Python program for the automatic sorting of subscription files and parts of subscription files. It is also able to automatically commit the changes to Mercurial repositories and validate comments to ensure that they match the form ...

I would be quite willing to increase collaboration with Fanboy's List - a full merge has previously been considered by both parties but has ultimately fallen through. There are, unfortunately, a few practical issues to consider with regard to the suggestion that just Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List ...

As a point of interest, I have analysed the EasyList download statistics for August and written an article on my findings.

You were right to suggest that I further investigate the system. When I tidied and examined one of their scripts, I found that they appear to collect not only survey responses (which I have no problem with as the "tracking" is opt-in), but also examine the referrer to determine which searc...

This policy has finally been collated and published in the blog post What is acceptable first-party tracking?.

EasyList blocks adverts; EasyPrivacy blocks scripts that track website visitors. They serve two different purposes and are therefore not suitable for comparison in terms of which is "better". However, I would strongly recommend that, if EasyPrivacy is installed, EasyList is also selected t...

I was just going to add the filter from my list of personal rules anyway...

Although the sub-domain is referenced in the JavaScript file, no requests are sent to it due to the kantarmedia.com domain being blocked. Furthermore, a filter with no string of at least three characters enclosed within non-alphanumeric characters is unable to be optimised by Adblock Plus , slowing ...

KISSinsights looks to be a survey system - i.e. the user chooses whether to provide feedback to questions posed by the website owners. I would therefore be inclined not to block this domain.

Upon further examination, no.

EasyList + Liste FR is the more usual combination and should block adverts on both English and French websites. Have you encountered problems when using EasyList?
