Fanboy's annoyance list without social blocking?

Post by jakky567 »

I understand how social buttons are an annoyance, and to be fair, most of the buttons are to me. But things like logins to leave comments and whatnot are blocked. Is there a separate fanboy's annoyance list than the standard one?

Unfortunately not but you still can create your own annoyance list

It's an unexpected behavior. Do you have an example where logins/comments are blocked by "Fanboy's annoyance list"?

Below, how to remove Social filters from Fanboy's annoyance list (output file my-annoyance.txt).

# 1st

Download the annoyance list form here https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus. ... oyance.txt
Download the social list from here https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus. ... social.txt

# 2nd

execute the below linux bash command in the terminal

Code: Select all

diff --new-line-format="" --unchanged-line-format="" fanboy-annoyance.txt fanboy-social.txt > my-annoyance.txt
e.g result: https://bpaste.net/raw/84678c92bc25 / [raw text]

---
Note:
For bash commands, If you don't have linux you can use as an alternative "Cygwin" or "win-bash".
For Windows 10, here how to enable the linux bash shell https://www.wikihow.com/Enable-the-Wind ... -for-Linux

Or (easier):

Code: Select all

cat fanboy-annoyance.txt fanboy-social.txt > my-annoyance.txt

"diff" will print differences between the two files. Since fanboy-annoyance contains fanboy-social, diff between both files will print fanboy-annoyance filters without fanboy-social filters.

"cat" on the other end will concatenate both files. Since fanboy-annoyance contains fanboy-social, cat of the two files will leave you with fanboy-social's filters duplicated.

Ah yes both of you are right. I needed to re-read the OP. :roll:
