In fact, I've made a toolbox for working with adblock lists for a long time. For automatic filtering of lists. The only nuance for an inexperienced user, it can be uncomfortable. However, you can instantly compare lists up to 1 GB (on x86) and up to 1.5 GB (on x64 workstations or x86 server systems).

Testing basic adblock on Goanna.
There are problems detecting rules of type, $webrtc.
For example, this rule:
If you go to ghacks.net, it will block all CSS requests.
roytam1, can you look into this?
Has anyone else been using this adblock with the Goanna version? I need to install it if it works correctly.
And does one of the macros that JamesD created, also in this thread, work with the Goanna version? And which one?
No expert around, sigh...
And I'm not using it myself due to old system, so the whole thing is over my head. Only know that the dll has been included out-of-box since a few years, and is still contained in K-Goanna too.
But of course, it doesn't make much sense without ANY user interface, without the macro you mentioned! Too bad that Dorian has vanished again
Anyway, just try it yourself, and if there are probs just disable it again.
For the menu macro I've attached below a little macro update, version 2.8
It's been about a year that I tried to figure out how that plugin works, and meanwhile all forgotten again, but at the time had noticed a little glitch with the toolbar button. The icon pic kept vanishing after restarts, this should be fixed in v2.8
If anyone needs a little helper macro to easier hide single images or such, take a look here:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?9,145345
But it's very frustrating that the plugin is so extremely GUI-hostile that not even macros can do much
Especially needing restarts for every little change.
PS: there are also some alternative Adblock-xpi-addons which they say are working. Several quite detailed threads here in the forum. For example ABPrime (ABP-version for Goanna, very limited GUI as for ABP too), or SilentBlock (regex), or BluHell, perhaps also uBlock (but NOT uMatrix)

The module in main Goanna set is completely workable (used every day).
For work of plug-in any macro is not required. The macro is necessary for logs and expeditious inclusion / switching off on the fly (and even it is not an indispensable condition).
adblock.txt has to be placed in profile folder. Actually, this same patterns.ini (for AdblockPlus /
ABPrime, as example). Possible copy and rename patterns.ini into adblock.txt and to copy in a root of profile. At existence of a macro, inclusion of kmeleon.plugins.adblock.logging will create log file near with adblock.txt.
Support of blocking rules is found at level AdBlockPlus v2-2.7 (without ## rules).
It is not recommended to copy blindly subscriptions, copy only necessary rules.
At reasonable and filtered set of rules module is extremely effective. However for effective use,
it is required to understand work of rules and feature of KM (for example, there is no webrtc
).
Then it is possible to avoid many problems.
At unreasonable use (for example, an overload a useless excess set of rules) module will cause braking since will analyze each inquiry according to all list, but it is a problem not so much of module how many its misuse by user.

It's been awhile since this post but I ended up sticking with KM Gecko for awhile since I didn't know any any real advantage that KM Goanna offered me at the time, and the adblock wasn't any better (I don't think I knew about ABPrime then), and I didn't have time to keep researching the adblock and install it on a new version, so I just kept using KM Gecko. I was hoping the adblock would have matured some by now but it doesn't seem to have. But since that post, I've come across more and more sites that just won't work with KM Gecko anymore, so I'm trying KM Goanna.
Apart from some sites not working at all with KM Gecko, many just don't work with this basic adblock enabled, and do once it's disabled, so since I have to disable it often, a control is invaluable.
Can someone that uses subscriptions tell me if ABPrime would be more site-compatible than the basic adblock? And since it seems to come with an interface, it wouldn't require me having to re-learn how to/install the macro control any time I need to install a new browser.
It's a little odd that KM (at least KM Goanna) comes with adblock.dll in the kplugins folder, but then has to be placed in the profile folder if you want to use it, and that it comes with an adblockplus folder, yet that's not enabled either. If KM is already including these, why doesn't it already have adblock in the correct place, and with a simple control for it? It could easily be disabled if users don't want it.

Roytam, Dorian: any chance that adblock.dll could get 2 commands that can be called by macro? 1) To download fresh lists from the web and 2) to import the current disk list again in the middle of a session, because I have a little macro that adds more rules to it? (posted awhile ago, mainly for $ImageURL, but user can crop path shorter or edit more if he knows syntax)
PS: there are also some alternative Adblock-xpi-addons which they say are working. Several quite detailed threads here in the forum. For example ABPrime (ABP-version for Goanna, very limited GUI as for ABP too), or SilentBlock (regex), or BluHell, perhaps also uBlock (but NOT uMatrix)
