Ad blocking by host domain

Sat Jan 01, 2011 9:19 pm
I think it would be cool if I could enable/disable adblock filters by URL, so that I could allow certain advertisement on certain websites. The most simple form would be a button allowing to enable/disable adblocking pr domain, more finegrained configuration could be offered on demand, eg with a "Advanced..." button in a kcm module.

The reasoning for this suggestion is that it could allow me to allow advertisement in sites that I want to support, and that depends on advertising, while still have a usable web experience in general.

Ah yes, like Opera's implementation.

What about a whitelist? (I assume at least rekonq has this)
If you want to see adds in a website you add it to the list and that's it... By default everything is blocked.

It's the way adblock+ for firefox works, probably one of the most useful extensions imho.

Firefox has inbuilt pop up blocking functionality, which works quite well but it's sometimes bypassed by certain websites. There are some addons that enhance its ability and manage to prevent pop ups been triggered by user actions. One of the best features in Firefox me thinks, let's hope to see it working here too.
