wyebadblock

An adblock extension for wyeb, also webkit2gtk browsers.

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

usage:

depends:

• arch linux: 'webkit2gtk'

• debian 9.3: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

  make make install

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

wyebadblock only checks 'easylist.txt'

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

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;

For webkit2gtk browsers

On Arch Linux

surf

sudo mkdir usr/local/lib/surf
sudo ln -s /lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so /usr/local/lib/surf

See vimb below to manage the link by pacman

vimb

sudo ln -s /lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so /lib/vimb

There is a PKGBUILD file. see PKGBULDs dir.

lariza

mkdir -p ~/.config/lariza/web_extensions
ln -s /lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so ~/.config/lariza/web_extensions

Others

webkit2gtk loads extensions in a dir designated by each apps. So we have to know which dir is the dir.

search 'webkit_web_context_set_web_extensions_directory' in source code and make link from the dir to the wyebadblock as above.

Element Hiding

Per domain CSS hider rule is not supported and this may crash webkit2gtk.

make cssoutput
./cssoutput > user.css

And add the user.css to your browser as user css. On wyeb, just copy the user.css to the conf dir.

The user.css uses 'display:none'. As the http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/ it is easily detacted by sites, so it may causes the messages do disable adblock.
