Adblock: disable auto update? #302

Closed curse127 closed 12 years ago

curse127 commented 12 years ago

Hello! I have a small suggestion ... Please add the feature disable automatic updating of rules for adblock. The fact that the standard rules are few and not efficient. In your browser all the rules are stored in a text file "adblocklist.txt" and can edit yourself (this is a huge plus!), But each time the rules are automatically updated their records are lost ... impose restrictions on adblocklist.txt something is wrong... Thanks!

Hi, i won't add this option. I am planning to significally improve AdBlock so it will support 3rd party lists and also CSS rules hiding.

For now, you can workaround this issue by editing settings.ini in your profile:

[Adblock]
enabled=true
lastUpdate=....

and edit lastUpdate= to

lastUpdate="@Variant(\0\0\0\x10\0%|\x95\x2)\xfa\x62\xff)"

It will set last update to year 2014, so you won't get any update until that date ;-)
