anonymous_user Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The author of Adblock Plus advises against using Filterset.G. I would go for EasyList/Element.

iZoom Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Its only against the rules to revive an old thread such as this if no useful discussion takes place as a result. Seeing as this add-on is still used by Firefox users, and is still relevant, I decided to revive it to continue the discussion. I've been using the EasyList/Element combo for a couple months, I was just curious if someone has something more concise or if that list is the best combination of blocking and lack of repeats.

iZoom Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I believe I read somewhere via Google that the Filterset add-on is no longer supported by its creator.

LiquidSolstice Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Really only trying this because I hear it can block google text ads. Any site that I can use a before/after comparison on?

soonerproud Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Try to actually give a link to the source instead of whoring other peoples work. It will save you having a million people asking how to import it too since there are instructions on the website.This adblock list is called Filterset.G and information can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/ If you go to the adblock plus site, they specifically say to NOT USE FILTERSET G. filterset G is poorly maintained, if maintained at all and on top of that the easy list subscription will do a better job if you go to their main web site and install both easy list and easy privacy. EasyList Filters Java ads are kinda hard to block :/and even more annoying cause they take longer to load Repeat after me. NOSCRIPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to stop Java script cold in it's track, this is the best extension in the world because all js is blocked until you allow it.

Simon Veteran Posted April 19, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 19, 2009 But you also block all JavaScript, and the web relies heavily on it. If you want to cripple your web experience, go ahead...

You can white list easily with NoScript, so that isn't a problem now is it?

LiquidSolstice Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yeah, that would involve a lot of testing but turning on/off on sites. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/293227-adblock-list/page/4/#findComment-590873352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerproud Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Still a pain if you visit a lot of websites. Have you ever even used it? All my main sites are white listed and it only takes 2 clicks to allow any site you visit. The peace of mind that controlling scripting gives you is far better than just letting any script, including the malware writers to run unobstructed. Most sites run just fine without scripting enabled and it is a lot easier to use NS than to block all scripting in the browser and then go through the pain of white listing using the browsers built in tools. Pages load far faster and all those advertising and tracking cookies are blocked by default ensuring your privacy on the web.

Simon Veteran Posted April 19, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 19, 2009 Meh, I just don't care that much I guess. I have tried NoScript, but fact of the matter is that there aren't many malicious JS scripts that run in modern, up to date browsers (especially on OS X, so I'm even less at risk), and I'm not that concerned about tracking cookies. Load time difference is miniscule, particularly on Firefox and Webkit nightlies, and if it isn't it's probably because there's enough JS on the page that it's useful. But if you're dedicated enough to click 'enable JavaScript' on each site you visit, go ahead. I just prefer a richer web experience. You can't go through life paranoid, it's a waste of time.
