unopened ')' at line 190 in EasyList breaks Midori Adblock

Post by Be_ »

Adding EasyList to Midori's Adblock does not work. In a console, Midori prints this error:

** (midori4:5881): WARNING **: subscriptions.vala:265: Adblock compile regexp: Error while compiling regular expression -Banner-Ad)- at char 10: ) without opening (

Removing the ')' on line 190 fixes the issue. Restarting Midori blocks ads as expected.

Removed, but Midori parsing of Adblock Plus rules needs to improve.

Thanks for the quick fix. I don't know what Midori should be doing, but here is a link to a report on their bug tracker about this issue:
