Adblocker needs improvement. #948

Open sgrxrx opened 2 years ago

sgrxrx commented 2 years ago

the app doesn't support energized.pro's ultimate filter. The adblocker needs a cosmetic filter too. You should use ublock origin and 1dm's adblocking system as a reference. Everything else is perfect.

Why on earth would you use such extreme filters. Via browser supports simple rules of ad blocking which should be enough for a normal user. Using heavy adblocking engines will increase resource consumption as well as size of the app. You can use EasyList, EasyPrivacy and Fanboy's Annoyance as they are good enough for day to day use. For advance blocking you can create your own rules with the help of network log as it makes it easy to track your connections. If you really want the best adblocker you can try Firefox or Kiwi browser as they support Ublock Origin.

I still support the fact that this adblocker needs some improvements. Sometimes it ignores custom rules when applied along with third party rules.

Limited by webview, some adblock filters may not be supported (a very small part). The adblock and ublock rules are completely different. I think it is wise to choose the adblock filter rule because it has more existing filters(like easylist).

Can you add a way to clear empty space and block link redirection?
