Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

i've reinstalled adblock from application manager ... it works ... but still .. if i go to add-ons ... the button restart browser to complete ...is there ... and nothing happens if i click it!

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

only way fix things was to delete all extensions in .mozila/microb/extensions/ ...
installed again adblock plus 1.0.2 from application manager ... works fine, thank you .... even though you cannot play with lists and preferences

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Does adblock play well with the latest firmware update (1.1)? How is the performance using adblock? Are webpages slower to load or are there issues of some webpages not being displayed correctly?

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Adblock seems to work fine with the pr 1.1. I'm using adb 1.1.1 adding easylist and easyprivacy. I have notice that the browser will stall if I open too many windows or too many complex site (ie NYT, engadget. This might also have to do with all the javascript and flash content on those page. When it stall and you end task you will loose all of your windows..:( wish it had that open all windows from last session feature.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

I recall doing host blocking on my PC. Is adblock significantly slower? Performance hit and some issues with installation/uninstallation apparently are what worry me regarding adblock. Host blocking on the other hand isn't simply web browser blocking so that would seem like a better option other than having to manually update it frequently.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

I installed it fine yesterday but was having that no filter loading problem, so did the uninstall everything and go back to 1.1.1 or w/e it was, now i cant install any version of adblock or other addons for that matter i can install them via going to that firefox utility where you just go to install addons and check them etc, but if i go into actual firefox and settings> addons, they are not loading there for some reason. I had adblock in there yesterday but it wont add back to it, tryed a few resets and still not there. dont know whats up with it and cant seem to find a reason for it either, did the reset of microb etc but somethings a miss :S

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

yeah, why is this thing still on the main extras repo?? its obviously broken. Ive never had any luck with the repo one.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Maybe this discussion is interesting for you:

I'll don't care any longer for Adblock Plus in extras because "it works for a majority in the communicty". Maybe you also only don't have luck.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

I'm having the same problem... Where did you find ".mozila/microb/extensions/"?

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

No matter, i figured it out. Just entered this in xterm to default browser settings and add ons:

rm -rf ~/.mozilla/microb

It seems a lot quicker now too so i may just leave adblock alone now i've finally got rid of it..

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

ahh i figured out what the issue was, well so to speak, if seems if i load the little firefox icon i can put my addons in there and browse the net and the addons work(altho it is sluggish), but if i click on a bookmark i have on my screen it loads a different type of browser where it wont let me install addons because they are not compatible with microb3 :S. is this 2 different browsers or something. :confused:

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Ahh microb is another browser, tho i must say i prefer it even with ad's over using firefox, firefox is so slugish with adblock on.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

It's slugish without adblock compared to microb...

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

works now with 1.1.1

Thanks for the tip. God I hate aggressive advertising!

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

I got 1.1.1 working by doing this:

1. Uninstalled everything browser-related from application manager
2. Removing directory /home/user/.mozilla/microb
3. Poweroff the phone and turn it on, to get browserd generate new ~/.mozilla/microb (sudo reboot nor any other kind reboot didn't work)
4. Installed 1.1.1 from xpi founded from site mentioned many times in this thread. :rolleyes:
5. Add your favourite blocklist url
6. Poweroff the phone and turn it on again for sure, even MicroB says AdBlock is in use.
7. Check does it work and if it does, you can reinstall what you uninstalled (excluding AdBlock -package).

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

I'm in the middle of working around the problematic way that microb deals with plugins and extensions and should have a better, faster replacement soonish.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Thanks, looking forward to it.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

As mentioned before, is there a way to ad websites to the filter list?

The button to add a filter doesn't do anything...

Re: Adblock Plus on N900

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Well I can't get past the restart browser part...it just refuses to restart ...I even tried to uninstall the version of adblock I got off the repos :(

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

any idea any one??? it doesn't restart for me

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

This will work!

1. Uninstall the old adblock from app manager.
2. Delete everything in home/user/.mozila/microb/extensions
use ssh & winscp for easy acces.
3. Follow the steps in the linked url. http://browser.garage.maemo.org/news/12/

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

thanks a lot @CarstenDutch, works perfectly, =D !!

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Anyone has adblock working on PR1.2 ?
! the link doesn't work, I can't seem to get to the chrome url to add EasyList in any way...

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

I manged to go further strictly following these instructions (this time i get to have EasyList present and enabled in the prefs) but it still didn't do anything.
Now going in about:config and setting adblock to enabled = true did it ...
thanks! :-)

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

adblock plus is installed and I added the filter lists. but they are not updated so nothing is actually blocked :(

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

I just reinstalled adblock plus on pr 1.2 according to CarstenDutch's/HellFlyer's method, it works. thanks!

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

yup, my filters have updated now, too.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Did anyone else notice that the menus started working in adblock plus 1.1.1?

You can now delete, modify, update..etc all via the little menu's on top. However they only seem to work if you not in fullscreen mode.

Don't remember if I tried this combo before, but happy I can add and delete filters easier than before.

cheers

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

how do you guys right-click and manually remove unwanted ads from your pages? help please? thanks.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Starting from off the screen on the left, drag your finger/stylus into the viewing area and you should get a mouse pointer which should then behave like a right click when you tap the screen.

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

mine stopped working once i tried a different sim card, it was set to false in about:config. setting it back to true works :D

Re: Adblock Plus on N900
 

Thanks,
I removed all you said, did what is in the refered post and it works.
Life is easier now. Maybe somebody should remove the original adblock from repo?

Moreover - I found that the blocked sites are in plain text form here

/home/user/.mozilla/microb/adblockplus/patterns.ini

in my google-chrome (under linux) I am not able to find it, there is a file

$HOME/.config/google-chrome/Default/Local\ Storage/chrome-extension_gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom_0.local storage

that is sqlite3 db file and the operation on it is not straightforward.
