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/hostsblocklist, so thanksThanks 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.
