Starting from version 3.5, Konqueror feature an ad blocker mechanism based on regular expressions. Here is a little how-to to help you install an efficient filter set.
- Dowload the latest Filterset.G regexp set. The file which contain all rules is located at http://www.pierceive.com/filtersetg/ under the name
YYYY-MM-DD.txt. - Go to
Settings>Configure Konqueror...menu. - Then go to
AdBlock Filterspanel (the one on the screenshot). - Check both
Enable filtersandHide filtered imagesoptions. - Use the
Import...button to load the “Filterset.G” file you previoulsy downloaded - Enjoy ad-free web sites !
By the way, I hope to see the feature suggested by Andreas Frische to get some attention by the Konqueror community: it would be nice to have an integrated auto-updater of filter set in Konqueror (and make this how-to deprecated).
That’s fantastically simple, I was expecting a long and tedious process, almost put in an /etc/hosts blocklist, so thanks
Thanks for this tip, using konqueror without blocking ads was becoming too much like watching television!
BTW, your site renders funny in konqueror (3.5.7) for me.
Let me guess: you have a double vertical scrollbar…
I’m using konqueror 3.5.6 and I have the same problem. It’s clearly related to konqueror because other browser don’t have this issue and the CSS code is clean.
Thank you very very much
I was searching it on the web, but i didn’t find anything!!
Thank you
in the mean time i set up a local name server + cron job; works good
