AddBlocking CSS

for who may concern!
Start surfing the web without adds. Put the following code in to your userContent.css (all Mozilla based Browsers incl. K-Meleon)

/* Start AddBlocking */
@import url(http://qbank.de/io.php?cmd=xtras&arg=moz-a-lock);
/* End AddBlocking */

The URL provides realtime CSS-data for addblocking! Once you restart your browser, you're up and ready and you NEVER have to update since the data itslef is beeng updated daily! ;-)

Adblock Plus is superior. This CSS only hides things, they still get downloaded.

Adblockplus is great software you'r right! But Adblockplus can't be used to filter images according to their dimensions. Adblockplus can't do any source code modifications at all.

That means you still have no choice exept element hiding and using of userContent.css, which the above "AddBlock CSS" does...you don't have to like it, but it does what it was ment to...

I prefer Adblock+ and the default Kmeleon filter. I think it's enough.

Don't troll, the principal is to see that K-Meleon has more solutions to work fine and to give envy to try and choose K-Meleon.

If we look at there is not a long time, K-Meleon was not or a few able to purpose extensions.

Now there are lot of extensions which are usable. Not such than for Firefox, but I don't think it's needed.

All the solutions are wellcomed, and each other can choose one or another, and it's the principal.

Hiding (not blocking) is icky at best. It will also hide images you want to see, because dimensions really don't say much about the content. I know banners are always of a certain size, but there's banners that are ads, and banners that aren't.

True, Adblock Plus can't do any modification of the source code. But neither can userContent.css. What you're modifying is the DOM, and that way you can hide things.

I really don't see why you would hide ads instead of blocking them. There are two bad things about ads:
1) They're often obnoxious, and not wanted.
2) They slow down the loading of web pages, because their servers are always slow.

By hiding ads, you're only taking care of problem 1.

There is also a third problem with ads: privacy and security issues. Ads are often used to track users, they also present a security risk (see http://adblockplus.org/blog/80-of-malware-served-through-ads). Hiding ads doesn't solve this problem either.

Btw, Adblock Plus can hide ads. The filter rule '##a img[width="120"][height="240"]' will work in the same way userContent.css works. With all the same disadvantages of course, e.g it will not hide images where width and height attributes are not specified. You can take a look at the EasyElement subscription and the Element Hiding Helper extension (ok, the latter hasn't been ported to K-Meleon yet).

I have seen that with few rules adblock+ blocks near all of the ads for me and my family and provide more functionality than blocking by sizes and some filters subscriptions that slow down my computer. The choosen rules are the next:

[Adblock]
http ://ads*.
publicidad
*/banner*.
/[\W_]banner(code|count|_?click|div|BG|(id)?=|\d+|s|\.(php|asp)|-rotation|-?ad)(?!(_|\d*\.(png|htm)))/

How can I create two users in kmeleon (user1 & user2, for example), one with adblock+ with the rules shown before and one with no adblock and no rules at all. I want to give myself the choice of navigating with ads and all the stuff added to the pages, and the other option to navigate with no ads nor banners.
Thanx.

@goldenwater:

For use K-Meleon with two or more users, you can define it in menu:
Edit -> Manage Profiles...
You can define users in dialog showed, (user1 & user2, for example), and check 'Ask profile user to start.'
You can config each user profile as you like.
(If you have a profile.ini file in K-Meleon folder, user profiles folders will be generated in '\K-Meleon\Profiles[user profile name]' folder)
