EasyList Forum

I have enabled more than sixty subscriptions on Adblock Plus, and it did not slow the performance of my connection to the Internet while using Firefox in any way, for the speed of my computer is outstanding. There is a list of known Adblock Plus subscriptions on the Adblock Plus website, although I...

Just to let everyone know, I will release FOP 3 later today, which will likely be my last revision to the program.

Famlam has just spotted another flaw in FOP: it did not detect changes to the order of filters. This has been resolved in FOP 2.997.

I don't know if this is intentional, but by looking at this regex I suspect I'll be able to commit with this comment: A: You won't - the url is later validated by the urlparse function, which originates from the urllib.parse module. Generally, a protocol (e.g. http), domain name (e.g. example.com) ...

FOP, unlike other similar programs, validates the commit comment to ensure that it matches a certain style using the below regular expression: ^(A|M|P)\:\s(\((.+)\)\s)?(.*)$ The caret (^) indicates that the regular expression starts matching at the beginning of the comment. It then checks for one of...

Michael, where should I store my redundant hiding rules checker? It's your choice as it's your program, but I would ask MonztA to consider adding the tool to the EasyList combinations repository along with our other utility scripts. If he approves, you could just e-mail the file to the EasyList e-m...

I have just released FOP 2.99 (yes, it's been a while since I announced releases, but that's because there's been nothing exciting to announce). This version only stores a section of filters in memory and saves them as soon as the section has finished. This should allow the program to better handle ...

According to Fanboy, his lists predate EasyList, so it might be better to say that EasyList garnered more attention and was simply, for unknown reasons, more popular than Fanboy's List.

A different method of conversion from Adblock Plus to Tracking Protection List format was implemented by Wladimir; the function is a part of combineSubscriptions.py. All subscriptions remain available as TPLs.

Or if you mention the programming language: it's just javascript... That's probably a cause of slowdown either. If a good algorithm is found I could always look at implementing it in Python... @EasyList authors, sorry, but the rest of the evening I'll have to spend on mathematics or I'll not be abl...

Famlam, I'm sure that there would be several authors interested in the program if you would publish it - you could create a topic in the EasyList Subscriptions forum about it if you so desired.

P.S.
What language is the program written in?

That looks fine - I've therefore marked this topic as resolved for you.

There's no reason at all - feel free to remove the listed filters and all similar duplicates.

There have been a lot of updates to FOP today, predominantly optimising the program. The latest release, FOP 2.6, is ~30% faster than FOP 1.0.

IceDogg, thank you for your continued support - as I and, from the wording of your blog comment, MonztA know, it can't be easy. In answer to your questions, I will likely stay for a day or two to ensure a smooth transition and that MonztA has access to all the requisite tools. After that time my gro...

There is going to be a significant change to EasyList and EasyPrivacy.

I have just released FOP 2.1, which corrects the regular expression used for finding options (thanks to MonztA for highlighting this) and does not set the filter text to lower case if the option "match-case" is present (thanks to Famlam for finding this bug).

FOP 2.00 has just been released, which will accept completely blank files and has a few minor changes to the comments and messages.

So what are the plans for documenting the search feature's limitations? Or are we expected to look somewhere on the official phpBB website? There is no official documentation for the limitations of the search, but the problem has previously been discussed in the forum . As it only affects a minorit...

I can't reproduce the issue either...

I have just released FOP 1.91 , which should work with Git and SVN in addition to Mercurial. However, I only have a Mercurial repository and therefore have not tested the other types of repositories - feedback and corrections would therefore be much appreciated. well the script does look dandy lol I...

The forum software (phpBB) only records ("indexes") strings longer than three characters, although it is possible to search for "mlb*", as the wildcard ensures that the indexed string is at least four characters. However, upon conducting this search, the only topic I could find a...

This is just a reminder that there is a topic about a website covered by Liste FR in the development forum.

Will, we have already answered this question - asking again will not change the response. Please cease posting it in every Adblock Plus related forum.

I try my best with the program, but there always seems to be some niggle that remains with the program, hence the release of FOP 1.9 , which accepts relative directory references correctly, removes duplicate filters from subscription files and only saves a file if changes have been made. Besides, I ...

Tonight I've released FOP 1.7, which ensures that filter files are read using the correct encoding, and FOP 1.8, which fixes an error introduced in 1.6: urllib.parse was imported locally, in the start function, rather than globally.

What is described in the blog post is a possible consequence of using advert blocking software. We simply list where adverts are located and let individual users decide whether it is right to remove them on a given domain - I have left the message from the webmaster about advert blocking intact to i...

After further testing, I have realised that FOP 1.5 never got round to checking the Python version number due to the import of a module not present in Python 2 before check. This has been corrected in FOP 1.6 . If you're not sure which version of Python you have, just run the program and it will war...

I've made another update to FOP to make the current version of the program run, on my machine, 20% faster than FOP 1.0, taking only one and a half seconds to reach the commit stage (I did not include this part of the process in my measurements because I had nothing to commit).

P.S. This is post 4000!

I have released FOP 1.5, which has been heavily optimised and checks the version of Python being used; FOP requires Python 3, as I probably should have mentioned earlier.
