# wyebadblock
An adblock extension for [wyeb](https://github.com/jun7/wyeb), also webkit2gtk browsers.

most of code of this are from https://github.com/GNOME/epiphany/tree/master/embed/web-extension

wyebad is shared by clients, So even nowadays, browsers spawn procs for each windows,
wyebad keeps single server proc that makes less memory and less cpu times.
Don't worry, wyeb wills quit automatically when there is no client and 30 secs past.

For exsample, while epiphay's webproc uses 240M RAM for
[a page](http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/), wyeb uses 160M for the same page.
Of course the adblock uses 80M but not gain.

### usage:

	make
	sudo make install

then
copy **easylist.txt** to ~/.config/wyebadblock/

wyebadblock only checks 'easylist.txt'

Testing element hiding is not supported though,
You can check if it works on http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/

### Disabling

Setting chars(whatever) to the env value $DISABLE_ADBLOCK disables adblock.

For source code:
set string "adblock:false;" as the user data of the
webkit_web_context_set_web_extensions_initialization_user_data;
