How to use ContentBlocker to block ads?

[CarmenLexa]

I'm trying to use ContentBlocker to block ads but it doesn't work, I try to use onLoadResource but I don't know how to lock the resource before it loads, any ideas?

I could use some help with this as well, if someone could give an example on how to use contentBlocker, it would be appreciated!

Try this:

contentBlockers: [ ContentBlocker( trigger: ContentBlockerTrigger( urlFilter: '.*', resourceType: [ContentBlockerTriggerResourceType.IMAGE], ), action: ContentBlockerAction( type: ContentBlockerActionType.BLOCK, ), ), ],

Change the urlFilter and resoureType as you need.

This doesn't really work since I am trying to load normal images. Also, there are certain ads that are "overlays"? I'm not sure how else to explain it. I was thinking what if I inject a javascript adblocker into the webview? Do you have any thoughts on that @Vanilo?

It's working .

Try this:

   crossPlatform: InAppWebViewOptions(
    useShouldOverrideUrlLoading: true,
    mediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture: false,

    contentBlockers: [
        ContentBlocker(
                        trigger: ContentBlockerTrigger( urlFilter: "http://.*aaa.*", resourceType: [ContentBlockerTriggerResourceType.SCRIPT], ),
                        action: ContentBlockerAction( type: ContentBlockerActionType.BLOCK, ), ),
    ],

  ),
  android: AndroidInAppWebViewOptions(
    useHybridComposition: true,
  ),
  ios: IOSInAppWebViewOptions(
    allowsInlineMediaPlayback: true,
  ));

Change the urlFilter and resoureType as you need.

urlFilter ↔ String A regular expression pattern to match the URL against. read / write

If you wanna filter some js named aaa.js

You can try this :

http://.*aaa.*
