AdBlock Plus v1maemo0-8

Tried to get this running recently. I don't use AdBlock on my desktop, so the fact that I have to manually mess around with things and copy stuff over from my PC is a bit of a pain.

Here's how I got it to work: - Manually installed version 1.1.1 from http://browser.garage.maemo.org/extensions/adblock_plus-1.1.1-fx+sm+tb+mb.xpi (1.0.2 didn't have Easylist preinstalled) - In the browser, type about:config, find extensions.adblockplus.enabled and change to "true".

Great idea! I love ABP on my computer, so naturally it was one of the first 'apps' I installed when I got my N900. Unfortunately, it doesn't work after install without significant extra work, so I too think that it should not be in extras. I expect apps in extras to work out-of-the-box with little or no tinkering. IMO, still devel/testing quality.

Works with a bit of tinkering. People unfamiliar with "under the hood" operations might not like that.

A fundamental add-on which I just can't get to work, despite having tried all suggestions. Mobile Firefox works with the AdBlock extension, so that's what I'll be using. I don't think this should be included in this repository until it 'just works' every time.

Used a few days more and recognized it didn't work right.

Only fix --> http://browser.garage.maemo.org/news/12/

Only works with copying pattern.ini (copied with over BT to device, used terminal to move it to the right dir, started browser and worked)...

But beside of the pattern.ini-trick it works perfect, the same as on a laptop/desktop.

A must really.

Great idea !!

As instructed by Michael, Simply editing ~/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js and changing "extensions.adblockplus.enabled" to true works fine. verified one site. Youtube still shows advertisements, may be it is not included in default pattern matc patterns.ini.

It does not work after installation and for this reason it should not be available in maemo extras repository at the moment. See also: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36716

So does Ad Block just automatically run when I open the default or downloaded beta Firefox browser? I've restarted the phone twice, and it's not showing in the more section of the phone or desktop

It works, but here's what you have to do to get it working.

1) Install adblock and openssh from the app manager.

2) SFTP into your phone and copy patterns.ini from a working PC to your phone (~/.mozilla/microb/adblockplus/patterns.ini)

3) Edit the ~/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js file and set "extensions.adblockplus.enabled" to true and add {d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}:1.0.2, to "extensions.enabledItems".

4) Issue "killall browser browserd" from an Xterminal.

5) Start browsing! Ad free!

You can't say that I gave up trying - restoring original settings made it work. I mean ads are gone, and on YouTube it's 66% sure that I try to filter video intead of switching to full screen ;) Reboot didn't work for me.

It works. If you want to add filters, just install Firefox and do what the other person below said. It's not like it's that hard, or you have to pay for it.

Also, it comes with the default set of filters that do work just fine.

It didn't work at all, I was unable to add filters. On my PC I use Chrome, others use IE, Safari, so copying an .ini file is NOT an option.

I gave 1 star. Keep working, please!

I'm a huge AdBlock Plus fan! If you already use this on desktop Firefox just copy your existing preferences.ini across! No need to configure all your custom filters again!

e.g. ~/.mozilla/firefox/vkuuxfit.default/adblockplus

just a must have app for me. thanks!

Hi all,

Someone know how I can add a filter, I not able to access the Filter -> Add a filter menu ...

essential browser add-on to keep away the annoyances.
