ADBlock ads filter list for Opera - urlfilter.ini

Thursday, 9. August 2007, 09:15:31

Here is my filter for blocking ads in Opera.
Ecco il mio filtro per le pubblicità con Opera.
[21-07-2008 update] - please report problems
Tested also with Firefox 3 and ADBlock Plus

Instructions:
Close Opera and copy the urlfilter.ini file in
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user profile]\Applications Data\Opera\Opera\profile

Istruzioni:
Chiudere Opera e copiare il file ulrfilter.ini in
C:\Documents and Settings\[il tuo profilo utente]\Dati Applicazioni\Opera\Opera\profile

21-07-2008-urlfilter.zip

Note:
The filter was made to block non only images but when possibile the whole code block behind them. Doing so, It is compact and with "generic" filters should be able to block also banners from "unknown" sources.

Il filtro è stato fatto per bloccare non solo le immagini ma quando possibile l'intero blocco di codice retrostante. In questo modo il filtro è compatto e con filtri "generici" dovrebbe essere in grado di bloccare anche i banner "ignoti".

In Reply to: Celsi, Italy 1800? by Joe Celsi of 22

Hi! I'm another Celsi, I live in Chile. My
grandfather came from Italy during the war. He was born in Manarola, Genova. His name was Lorenzo Celsi Bordoni. My father is Renato Celsi. I want to know if in Italy I have family, someday I want to visit that country. Now I have the italian nacionality.
Also I know that the granfather of my dad was a judge in Asis Court.

Thanks a lot for the filter.

Actually testing

Hello Fiorella.
I don't know any from my family who lived in Manarola either in Genova. But my information goes only back to the father of my grandfather, who lived in Milano

My mom's family is from Tuscany.
My advice is to learn italian if you plan to visit Italy, it shouldn't be too difficult given you speak spanish. In emergency it is easier to be understood speaking a very slow spanish than english. On average Italians are not that good in english.

Hello pfelelep (why people use niknames?

)
You are welcome, not a big deal. The filter tries to stay "generic" using "keywords", not simply a list of blocked domains. I don't know what is the best for Opera performance, so far I tried to keep it as short as possible.
Tell me if there are sites I should look at to improve the filter.
BTW I guess I should add the release date to the file name so you can understand the last update.

Hello!welcome to truonghuy's blog ,ah!Where are you?

By truonghuynice, # 16. September 2007, 09:53:53

Dear Lorenzo,

You´re really something using Opera, comparing with You I´m naive.
I started with http://mx.geocities.com/medises/index
BOOK REVIEW ON INITIATION 1980

though when finished I started to talk about spiritual development & politics, some everyday problems society arises & bother, which in your messenger couldn´t expess totally-- well, writing a newspaper never cover all theme spectrum, albeit my PLEROME blog´s name ja j aja

With information technology is quite different because as soon you got the answer, replicate it is a piece of cake !!!

Best regards

By desipro, # 18. September 2007, 09:44:04

Thanks but honestly I am not doing anything special here. I am just using the features MyOpera gives to any user.

About Opera the browser, it is not difficult to use, even if probably the interface and the options could be reworked to make them simplier and more clean. Maybe it comes from me being mostly a Forefox user so I am used to a browser that allows you more hacking than Opera.

The ability to communicate and discuss the items is the core of "Web 2.0" concept. Today's web services allow any user to contribute publishing his/her own contents on the Interent and partecipate.

Hey Lorenzo C.

Just want to know how you endted at my blog?

Sincerely
Henriette, Denmark

Wow....really nice. Compared to Tamil's adblock list, this one is shorter, blocks about the same for me, except with less false positives.

Nice.

By adchia, # 28. October 2007, 13:51:46

I considered only a short list of web sites so if you can please report missed ads or problems, thanks.

By LorenzoCelsi, # 28. October 2007, 16:03:23

Consider putting in
*intellitxt.com* and *vibrantmedia.com*
to block the floating link ads on say softpedia.
*EDIT* Also try this one: *kontera.com*

By adchia, # 30. October 2007, 23:41:37

Thanks, can you please point me to the web site where the ads are located?

By LorenzoCelsi, # 31. October 2007, 09:49:22

one of many examples
I'll find an example of the other site, but I need to go now.

By anonymous user, # 31. October 2007, 10:47:01

I've found the issue, you mean the tooltip that appears when you go over some words in the text. Filter updated.

By LorenzoCelsi, # 31. October 2007, 10:58:58

Looking for the site now...By the way:
http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/166210.html
More tooltip ads.

By adchia, # 31. October 2007, 19:26:08

My friend, I don't know maybe you are very busy but can you please spend some more words in explaining exactly where are the ads located? These are not obvious banners. Looking in the page code I see things that should be already blocked, in fact there are at least 3 strings that are already active.

By LorenzoCelsi, # 31. October 2007, 19:31:02

Sorry, but on my computer, it pops up when hovering over installed on that page.

By adchia, # 31. October 2007, 19:35:48

Do you mean here: "computer,and so they will be INSTALLED at next shutdown"? I don't see anything opening from it.

By LorenzoCelsi, # 31. October 2007, 19:40:18

Wait...never mind. I had content blocker off.
Interesting, it seems that when I turned off the content blocker for specific sites, it turned the blocking completely off.
I'm going to reinstall opera to see if the issue persists.

By adchia, # 31. October 2007, 19:42:29

The above site shows the text ad from kontera.com
(ie.the word Thanksgiving has the ad, Contentlink has it, etc.)

By adchia, # 31. October 2007, 19:55:47

Ok send more when you find them and I will update the filter (I've already added Kontera and its external js file - download the filter again, I am thinking to add version number to the date). I never saw this kind of advertisement in the sites I usually visit. In short, there is a javascript at the bottom of the webpage that is executed once the page is completely loaded and it seems to parse the page content to related the tooltips/ads to some keywords. To block the ads you have to block the js.

By LorenzoCelsi, # 31. October 2007, 20:04:22

These aren't exactly inline advertisements, but I see these ads in yahoo mail. I add the following into my urlfilter.ini as well:
http://*.adpreference.*
http://*.nyadmcncserve-05y06a.*

By adchia, # 31. October 2007, 22:07:13

http://partition.radified.com/partitioning_2.htm
There is a yahoo ad (all text) in the middle of the page.

hey guys i want to know if in opera it is possible to filter website by keywords. i know there are softwares out there but i am do not want to use them. i have been using the url filter for a long time now but now i want to filter all the sites with words that relate to sex...so basically all the porn websites. please let me know.

thanks

By anonymous user, # 24. November 2007, 00:12:42

Yes and no.
Opera allows you to set a filter rule like "http://www.porn.com" but that would probably load the page the same, blocking all external objects like images, CSS and JS files coming from that domain. HTML and plain text would be still readable.

IMO to do what you want you need a proxy.
There are many solutions, some are integrated with firewalls and/or antivirus packages.

thanks for the update! (again)

By pfelelep, # 12. June 2008, 10:42:10

No problem, I do it for my own use so why not to share it with other people who may find it useful?

The list is based only on the web sites I browse, so tell me if you have some ads from somewhere else to add...
