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

wyebab is shared by clients, So even nowadays, browsers spawn procs for each windows, wyebab keeps single server proc that makes less RAM and less CPU times.

For example, while epiphay's webproc uses 240M RAM for a page, wyeb uses 160M for the same page. Of course the adblock uses 80M but not gain.

Don't worry, wyebab wills quit automatically when there is no client and 30 secs past.

usage:

make
sudo make install

then copy the 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/

For webkit2gtk browsers

On Arch Linux. Make sure on other distros, the paths are may different.

surfer

See the Surfer's README

https://github.com/nihilowy/surfer

epiphany

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so /usr/lib64/epiphany/web-extensions

This lacks epiphany's functionalities about adblock (e.g. can't disable), but saves RAM and CPU. Make sure while you keep enable epiphany's one, it is working too.

surf

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

There is a PKGBUILD file. see the 'PKGBULDs' dir.

vimb

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

There is a PKGBUILD file. see the 'PKGBULDs' dir.

luakit

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/wyebrowser/adblock.so /lib/luakit

lariza

mkdir -p ~/.config/lariza/web_extensions
ln -s /usr/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

wyebab --css > user.css

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

Make sure the huge css takes RAM a lot. Also it is often used to detect adblock.

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;

Runtime

g_object_set_data(G_OBJECT(webkitwebpage), "adblock", GINT_TO_POINTER('n'));

in any extension.

Full Control

If you want full control of wyebab as wyeb does, wyebab has api mode. Set string ";wyebabapi;" as the extensions_init's data. In api mode wyebab doesn't block URIs but keeps alive server proc and set the check function to the page object. So you can call the check func where ever as below.

bool (*checkf)(const char *, const char *) =
	g_object_get_data(G_OBJECT(webkitwebpage), "wyebcheck");
if (checkf)
	passed = checkf(requesturi, pageuri);

or

Use the shell interface below.

Shell

wyebab

Reads stdin outputs to stdout and keeps server. blank + enter quits.

wyebab requst_uri + ' ' + page_uri

Outputs result and Keeps server 30 secs.
