"Your allow rules" don't work #373

Closed mikhaelkh closed 9 years ago

mikhaelkh commented 10 years ago

"Your allow rules" aren't in "Lists of blocked hosts" and don't work. It also shows "0 used out of 0" while I added an ABP-compatible block rule and it seemed to work. What are the nuances of ABP filters support? Like ABP use "!" to comment a line instead of "#", does this mean I can use both? If a request fits allow rule(s) and block rule(s), which will take effect?

don't work

I need to know what doesn't work. What rule did you enter in there?

The "n out of N" is for matrix-based rules.

To comment out, you can use ! or #, so long as # cannot be confused with an ABP filter, i.e. any sequence of less than two (##) or greater than three (###) should be interpreted as a comment.

Two kinds of rules can be specified: matrix- or ABP-related rules.

When both an allow and block matrix-related rule exists, the allow rule wins.
When both an allow and block ABP-related rule exists, the allow rule wins.
When a matrix-related allow rule and an ABP-related block rule exists, the block rule wins.
When a matrix-related block rule and an ABP-related allow rule exists, the block rule wins.

"Your block rules: n used out of N" is for matrix-based rules. You mean for plain hostnames? And why "Your allow rules" aren't in "Lists of blocked hosts"?

I cannot get what you get. I whitelisted the whole matrix, and nowhere do I see a request which matches yandex.st/swf/kinoplayer.

A rule can be a plain hostname, or an Adblock Plus-compatible filter

@gorhill, plain hostname can also be treated as an adblock filter, for example ABP rule baddomain.com also blocks http://gooddomain.com/analyze?http://baddomain.com

gorhill commented 10 years ago

Use a wildcard to force the hostname to be seen as an ABP filter:

*baddomain.com
