Slow filter elimination
Posted: Fri May 07, 2010 2:13 pm
Currently we "feature" 7 unoptimized filters (4 in EP, 3 in ELG). I would like to get rid of them for both practical reasons (performance) and because they are simply bad for marketing.
I would like to propose to change some filters to be little bit more specific so that ABP can create shortcuts for them:
EP:
||estat.com^$third-party to ||prof.estat.com^$third-party (example page)
||stats.de^$third-party to ||js.stats.de^$third-party (example page)
||pstats.com^$third-party to ||pstats.com/scripts/stats.asp?$third-party (example page)
||track.*.yahoo.com^ is also a culprit but I couldn't find a site where the filter is actually triggered yet. Can anybody provide one? Otherwise I'd say that we delete the filter and try to find a better one should it be reported again.
We would leave the filters in their respective sections, of course.
ELG:
_werbung. to /bg_mnav_werbung. (example page)
Also I would like to merge ||doubleclick.net^*;sz=$object_subrequest,third-party,domain=ehrensenf.com|ehrensenf.de|finanzen.net|game-tv.com|golem.de|myspass.de|n-tv.de|smash247.com|sport1.de|teleboerse.de|zeit.de into its EasyList sibling.
MonztA provided me with a site where /werbung/* is triggered with his list, but EL already has a filter which covers the ads as well. I'd propose this one for deletion as well. (example page)
Ares2 was against the changes in the past but he's AWOL currently so his opinion is moot . The user experience should take priority before considerations of clinging to syntactic purity in individual sections.
Opinions?
