Adblocker Rules

These adblock filters you will find inside this repository will in some degree be a supportive to the more common know filters like EasyList or AdGuard.

About

Some important notes is this project started as a private project, however as the time how parsed by, it looks like other users are using one or more of our rules and filter, just as we are including 3rd party filters.

This means the precision in the filtering rules might not be as sharp as they could have been if this have been a major part of my portfolio,but this is purely a side project.

Disclaimer

I can't guarantee these filers won't cause problems. If you found problems, report it by filling in all the mandatory items in Issue template; otherwise reports can be ignored. Anyone who uses any of my filters/codes shall be deemed to have agreed that I have no responsibility or liability for costs, losses, damages, etc. arising from the use of the filters/codes.

Writing filters

File structure

File naming	Supported filter types
_domain.	These filter lists is to ad rules based on a domain specific level. IF / WHEN a rules is covering more than one domain, you should add it to the corresponding _rule filters
_rule	The place for rules covering more than one domain.
adult_*.blacklist	This is as the filename indicating the place to add NSFW ONLY contents AND only if it do not match any other filter(s)
adware_*.blacklist	Let take a guess, any promotional contents this is external as internal ads
annoyance_*.blacklist	Any kind of rules which did not fit into any other filter(s) and which does not as such brakes the functionality of the site.
anti_social_*.blacklist	filters that can help preventing building any kind of tracking links to any spyware domain like google, yandex, facebook, TikTok, Reddit, Telegram or similar (anti-)"social" and anti-democracy places.
anti_whitelist_*.blacklist	Found a rules elsewhere your would like to encounter, this is the filters for it.
cookie_*.blacklist	Everything preventing cookies being set, where not needed or used for any sorts of tracking/spying/logging 🍪 (1st & 3rd party)
noise.txt	⚠️ WARNING! The following filter, WILL bring interruption to sites functionality. These rules are to clean up sites by removing all the unnecessary noise, bit like @yourduskquibbles webannoyances, but breaking things doesn't matter AT ALL
spyware_*.blacklist	Filter preventing any kind of tracking, spying and alike. If you have to ask, you need to read SpyWare Wiki
whitelist_*.whitelist	Probably not very used... But it can come in handy sometimes protecting something to keep is spinning....

Sorting filters

We are sorting the rules based on the second level domain in the _domain. filters. In the _rule we sort based on the letter/number [a-zA-Z0-9] disregarding the actual filter first are present at the 3rd argument.

Example

In this rules we like to hide the .modal-backdrop but to actually succeed with this, will need some more arguments.

#
#
.show.fade.modal-backdrop

This should be sorted by the first s

Filter Inclusion - Exclusions

We will only in sevier cases include any rules that could/can be blocked by a DNS related firewall like DNS RPZ.

IF a rules is included, this will be to support the tor-browser where any local firewall rule is bypassed.

Writing filter guides

Howto? block whitelisted spyware: (https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/4529 SpyWare infected domain)

$ always needs to exist, if you're going to use a modifier.
, are used to separate multiple modifier.

Example (single modifier): $script
Example (multiple modifiers): $document,frame,script,stylesheet

Counter other's rules

You can't use badfilter modifiers for cosmetic rules.

For example, #@#.ads can't be disabled with #@#.ads$badfilter

Instead, you need to re-activate the CSS rule with a new blocking rule, which goes under the whitelisting radar (so-to-speak).

To override #@#.ads, something like ##[class="ads"], ##[class^="ads"] or ##[class*="ads"] is needed. The (^ = begins with / * = contains) will work, since #@#.ads only disables/whitelists ##.ads.

• $badfilter: Deactivates a resource-blocking entry, even if it is present in another list.
• $important: Makes a resource-blocking entry take precedence over another whitelisting entry.
• $redirect: Redirects resources to a neutered version that has been embedded in those extensions. Possible options are listed in this file (AdGuard has a slightly smaller selection).
• $empty: Results in a fake empty page being loaded, instead of an error page.

How to write filters: https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/how-to-write-filters

badfilter example

If the original rule was like

@
@
/
advertise.js$ script, domain

=
example.com |xyz.com

Then

@
@
/
advertise.js$ script, domain

=
example.com, badfilter

is a valid filter, it disables the whitelisted rule only on example.com.
