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:

make
sudo 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;

vimb

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 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 detected by sites, so it may causes the messages do disable adblock.
