Installer (914 KB) | Sample filter list (Import in Tools->AdBrick Settings)
This version has been completely rewritten from the ground up and should perform much better than the previous releases. It no longer depends on the .NET Framework, and was designed from the beginning with Vista in mind. Previous versions must be uninstalled before installing this release.
Currently there is no manual for this release, and a few things have changed:
- AdBrick no longer uses a custom filter format, at least in this version. It can import Adblock filters, so that format should be used when transferring filters from previous releases.
- Prefixes are no longer used on blocking filters. The "@" prefix is used for whitelist filters and everything else is considered blocking. Regular expression filters should be in the form "/regex/", and can be used as whitelist filters ("@/regex/"). Regular expression support in this version follows the ECMA-262 specification.
- Wildcard filters do not support anchors. Instead, there are implicit anchors at the beginning and end of every filter. This means in order to match anything with "ad" in it at any position, use the filter "*ad*". "ad*" matches at the start; "*ad" matches at the end.
Settings are in Tools->AdBrick Settings, and a list of blockable items on the current page can be accessed by selecting "List Blockable Items..." in the right-click context menu.
Known issues:
- Importing will fail with files that have a BOM (byte order mark) at the start, such as files containing unicode that have been edited with Notepad.
- "Remove blocked items from pages" is not enabled by default in the settings dialog.
