Update obsolete filter list site easylist.adblockplus.org

Post by abcba »

Some or all of the filter lists indicated on the old easylist website https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ have not been updated for monthes now that the lists have been moved to the different locations indicated on https://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions . Yet the old site still describes itself as "The official easylist website" and gives no warning that the lists at the locations it gives are no longer updated (I have used an obsolete Liste FR from there without knowing for monthes). If someone doesn't subscribe to a list from adblock plus but directly from the website after a web search for example this can happen, or maybe even if someone subscribed from adblock plus before the lists were moved. Is it possible to update the list locations on the old site or just remove them from there ? And is there any way (through an adblock plus extension update for example) to warn the people that the lists they have subscribed to are no longer updated and that they should resubscribe ?

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I have updated the URLs now.

It is possible to redirect users to the new list. I contacted the author so he can add the redirect header to the old list.
