hey @slyfox1186 thanks for submiting the ticket. Maybe the issue is that we didn't message this correctly.

The link that you have clicked is actually the exception list that adnauseam works with. The whitelist bellow is an additional list of websites that you can add yourself. for example if you want to add "nytimes.com" in the whitelist, you simply add as:

nytimes.com
washingtonpost.com
! etc...

the list that you tried to add in the video was the exception list that is already enabled by default. If you try to access any of the websites in that list, you'll see that adnauseam icon turns green, meaning it is allowing the ads on that webpage depending on the configurations on your initial page:

So if you want to disable this initial EFF whitelist, you should uncheck the two checkboxes above.

If you want to add aditional websites, simply add it to the whitelist following the uBlock Origin guide:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/How-to-mark-a-web-site-as-trusted

Hope this answers your doubt. Otherwise let us know what you need and we I can give a more precise solution. Either way this probably means we need to change how we phrase our whitelist page.

closing for now - pls create a separate ticket for whitelist language if needed

I guess the issue is rather that the DNT EFF info maybe shouldn't be displayed in the whitelist section, but rather where the DNT options are. But not sure how to fit it there.

EFF DNT Policy Whitelist‎ (www.eff.org)

[dhowe]

@mneunomne can you explain? the DNT list is a whitelist, and it has its own section on the whitelist page to differentiate from user-supplied sites

But disabling that list should also (automatically) uncheck the two settings you refer to, no ?

[mneunomne]

All I am saying is that perhaps it is a bit confusing that the DNT whitelist is actually a filter list, and has a different syntax from whitelist.

Maybe it would make more sense for it to show up on the filter list on a DNT section? But maybe there is a reason why it isn't there.

Yes, we can consider whether it should have its own page, or, as suggested by Mushon, replace it with GPC or similar.
