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 https://www.pierceive.com/filtersetg/ under the name
YYYY-MM-DD.txt
. -
Go to
Settings
>Configure Konqueror...
menu. -
Then go to
AdBlock Filters
panel (the one on the screenshot). -
Check both
Enable filters
andHide filtered images
options. -
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).
