1 title=Writing Adblock Plus filters
2
3
4 <p>{{s1 Current Adblock Plus versions allow you to "tweak" your filters in many different ways. This document explains the choices that you have and how they ca n be used.}}</p>
5
6 <p>{{s2 <em>Disclaimer</em>: All filter examples given here are really only ex amples and are not meant to be used.}}</p>
7
8 <h2 id="introduction">{{s3 Introduction to Adblock Plus filters}}</h2>
9
10 <p>{{s4 The options described in this section should be enough for users who h ave to create a filter occasionally.}}</p>
11
12 <h3 id="basic">{{s5 Basic filter rules}}</h3>
13
14 <p>{{s6 The most trivial filter you can define is of course the address of ban ner you want to block. However, often this address changes every time you open a page. For example it could be <code><fix>http://example.com/ads/banner123.gif</ fix></code> where 123 is a random number. Here blocking the complete address won 't help you, you need a more general filter — like <code><fix>http://example.com /ads/banner*.gif</fix></code>. Or maybe even <code><fix>http://example.com/ads/* </fix></code>.}}</p>
15
16 <p>{{s7 <em>Note</em>: Make sure that you are not replacing too much by wildca rds. The filter <code><fix>http://example.com/*</fix></code> will definitely blo ck all banners but it will also block everything else from example.com that you still might want to see.}}</p>
17
18 <h3 id="whitelist">{{s8 Defining exception rules}}</h3>
19
20 <p>{{s9 Sometimes you will notice that one of your filters that is usually wor king quite well blocks in some case blocks something that it shouldn't be blocki ng. You don't want to remove this filter but you still don't want it to match in this one case.}}</p>
21
22 <p>{{s10 That's what exception rules are good for — they allow you to define c ases where filters shouldn't be applied. For example if you are unhappy with you r filter <code><fix>adv</fix></code> blocking <code><fix>http://example.com/advi ce.html</fix></code>, you can define an exception rule <code><fix>@@advice</fix> </code>. Exception rules are no different from filter rules, you can use wildcar ds or regular expressions. You only have to precede them by <code><fix>@@</fix>< /code> to indicate an exception rule.}}</p>
23
24 <p>{{s11 Exception rules can do more. If you specify <code><fix>$document</fix ></code> option you will get an exception for the entire page. For example, if y our exception rule is <code><fix>@@||example.com^$document</fix></code> and you open some page from example.com — Adblock Plus will be entirely disabled on this page and nothing will be blocked.}}</p>
25
26 <h3 id="anchors">{{s12 Matching at beginning/end of an address}}</h3>
27
28 <p>{{s13 Usually Adblock Plus treats every filter as if it had a wildcard at i ts beginning and end, e.g. there is not difference between the filters <code><fi x>ad</fix></code> and <code><fix>*ad*</fix></code>. While this is usually unprob lematic, sometimes you wish that the filter you defined only matches at the begi nning or end of an address. For example you might want to block all Flash, but i f you add the filter <code><fix>swf</fix></code> the address <code><fix>http://e xample.com/swf/index.html</fix></code> will also be blocked.}}</p>
29
30 <p>{{s14 Solution to this problem: add a pipe symbol to the filter to show tha t there should be definitely the end of the address at this point. For example t he filter <code><fix>swf|</fix></code> will block <code><fix>http://example.com/ annoyingflash.swf</fix></code> but not <code><fix>http://example.com/swf/index.h tml</fix></code>. And the filter <code>|http://baddomain.example/</code> will bl ock <code>http://baddomain.example/banner.gif</code> but not <code>http://gooddo main.example/analyze?http://baddomain.example</code>.}}</p>
31
32 <p id="flexible-anchors">{{s15 Sometimes one wants to block <code><fix>http:// example.com/banner.gif</fix></code> as well as <code><fix>https://example.com/ba nner.gif</fix></code> and <code><fix>http://www.example.com/banner.gif</fix></co de>. This can be achieved by putting two pipe symbols in front of the filter whi ch makes sure the filter matches at the beginning of the domain name: <code><fix >||example.com/banner.gif</fix></code> will block all these addresses while not blocking <code>http://badexample.com/banner.gif</code> or <code>http://gooddomai n.example/analyze?http://example.com/banner.gif</code> (requires Adblock Plus 1. 1 or higher).}}</p>
33
34 <h3 id="separators">{{s16 Marking separator characters}}</h3>
35
36 <p>{{s17 Often you need to accept any separator character in a filter. For exa mple, you might write a filter that blocks <code><fix>http://example.com/</fix>< /code> and <code><fix>http://example.com:8000/</fix></code> but not <code><fix>h ttp://example.com.ar/</fix></code>. Here the symbol ^ can be used as a placehold er for a single separator character: <code><fix>http://example.com^</fix></code> (requires Adblock Plus 1.1 or higher).}}</p>
37
38 <p>{{s18 Separator character is anything but a letter, a digit, or one of the following: <fix>_ - . %</fix>. The end of the address is also accepted as separa tor. In the following example all separator characters are shown in red:}} http: <b style="color: red;">//</b>example.com<b style="color: red;">:</b>8000<b style ="color: red;">/</b>foo.bar<b style="color: red;">?</b>a<b style="color: red;">= </b>12<b style="color: red;">&amp;</b>b<b style="color: red;">=</b>%D1%82%D0%B5% D1%81%D1%82{{s19 . So this address can be blocked with the filter <code><fix>^ex ample.com^</fix></code> or <code><fix>^%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82^</fix></code> or <code><fix>^foo.bar^</fix></code>.}}</p>
39
40 <h3 id="comments">{{s20 Comments}}</h3>
41
42 <p>{{s21 Any rule that starts with an exclamation mark is considered a comment . It will still show up in the filter list but in grey instead of black. Adblock Plus will ignore this rule for actual blocking so it is safe to write there wha tever you want. You can place a comment rule above a real filter to describe wha t it is doing. Or you can put a comment on top of your filter list stating your authorship (most filter list authors do that).}}</p>
43
44 <h4 id="special-comments">{{s22 Special comments}}</h4>
45
46 <p>
47 {{s23 Special comments will only have an effect in downloaded filter lists, no t in custom filters.}} {{s24 They can set a number
48 of parameters for the filter list:}}

133 <h4 id="options">{{s53 Specifying filter options}}</h4>
134
135 <p>{{s54 Adblock Plus allows you to specify a number of options to modify the behavior of a filter. You list these options separated with commas after a dolla r sign ($) at the end of the filter, for example:}}</p>

166 <li>{{s70 Restriction to third-party/first-party requests: If the <code><fix >third-party</fix></code> option is specified, the filter is only applied to req uests from a different origin than the currently viewed page. Similarly, <code>< fix>~third-party</fix></code> restricts the filter to requests from the same ori gin as the currently viewed page.}}</li>
167 <li>{{s71 Domain restrictions: The option <code><fix>domain=example.com</fix ></code> means that the filter should only be applied on pages from "example.com " domain. Multiple domains can be specified using "|" as separator: with the opt ion <code><fix>domain=example.com|example.net</fix></code> the filter will only be applied on pages from "example.com" or "example.net" domains. If a domain nam e is preceded with "~", the filter should <strong>not</strong> be applied on pag es from this domain. For example, <code><fix>domain=~example.com</fix></code> me ans that the filter should be applied on pages from any domain but "example.com" and <code><fix>domain=example.com|~foo.example.com</fix></code> restricts the f ilter to the "example.com" domain with the exception of "foo.example.com" subdom ain.}}</li>
168 <li>
169 {{s72 Sitekey restrictions: The option <code><fix>sitekey=abcdsitekeydcba< /fix></code> means that the filter should only be applied on pages that provide a public key and a signature which can be verified by that very same public key that is also contained in the filter (but without the trailing =). Multiple site keys can be specified using "|" as separator: with the option <code><fix>sitekey =abcdsitekeydcba|bcdesitekeyedcb</fix></code> the filter will only be applied on pages providing either sitekey "abcdsitekeydcba" or "bcdesitekeyedcb". This is similar to domain restrictions but allows covering scenarios where a single filt er should apply to a very large number of domains. Note that sitekey restriction s require <a href="#sitekey_server">modifications on the server-side</a>.}}
170 </li>
171 <li>{{s73 <code><fix>match-case</fix></code> — makes the filter only apply t o addresses with matching letter case, e.g. the filter <code><fix>*/BannerAd.gif $match-case</fix></code> will block <code><fix>http://example.com/BannerAd.gif</ fix></code> but not <code><fix>http://example.com/bannerad.gif</fix></code>.}}</ li>
172 <li>{{s74 <code><fix>collapse</fix></code> — this option will override the g lobal "Hide placeholders of blocked elements" option and make sure the filter al ways hides the element. Similarly the <code><fix>~collapse</fix></code> option w ill make sure the filter never hides the element.}}</li>
173 <li>
174 {{s75 <code><fix>donottrack</fix></code> — for any address matching a bloc king rule with
175 this option and not matching any exception rules with this option a
176 <a href="http://donottrack.us/">Do-Not-Track header</a> will be sent (requ ires
177 Adblock Plus 1.3.5 or higher).}} {{s76 For backwards compatibility it is r ecommended
178 to use this option in combination with contradicting type options, this wi ll prevent this
179 filter from blocking anything in earlier Adblock Plus versions:

183
184 <h4 id="regexps">{{s77 Using regular expressions}}</h4>
185
186 <p>{{s79 If you want even more control about what your filters match and what they don't match, you can use regular expressions. For example the filter <code> <fix>/banner\d+/</fix></code> will match <code><fix>banner123</fix></code> and < code><fix>banner321</fix></code> but not <code><fix>banners</fix></code>. You ca n check out <a href="{{s79-link https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript _1.5_Guide/Regular_Expressions#Writing_a_Regular_Expression_Pattern}}">documenta tion on regular expressions</a> to learn how to write them.}}</p>

191
192 <h3 id="elemhide_basic">{{s82 Basic rules}}</h3>
193
194 <p>{{s83 Sometimes you will find advertisements that can't be blocked because they are embedded as text in the web page itself. If you look at the source code of the web page you might find something like this:}}</p>
195
196 <pre>&lt;div class=&quot;textad&quot;&gt;
197 Cheapest tofu, only here and now!
198 &lt;/div&gt;
199 &lt;div id=&quot;sponsorad&quot;&gt;
200 Really cheap tofu, click here!
201 &lt;/div&gt;
202 &lt;textad&gt;
203 Only here you get the best tofu!
204 &lt;/textad&gt;
205 </pre>
206
207 <p>{{s84 You need to download the web page so you will necessarily download th e advertisements. All you can do here is to hide the advertisement so you don't need to see it. That's what element hiding is meant for.}}</p>
208
209 <p>{{s85 The first advertisement above is contained inside a div element with class attribute "textad". The following rule will hide exactly this combination: <code><fix>##div.textad</fix></code>. Here ## marks an element hiding rule whil e the rest is a selector identifying the elements that need to be hidden. You ca n hide elements by their id attribute similarly, <code><fix>##div#sponsorad</fix ></code> will hide the second advertisement. You don't need to specify the eleme nt name, the rule <code><fix>##*#sponsorad</fix></code> will work just as well. And you can hide elements by element name only, e.g. <code><fix>##textad</fix></ code> for the third advertisement.}}</p>
210
211 <p>{{s86 The <a href="elemhidehelper">Element Hiding Helper extension</a> help s selecting the correct element and writing the corresponding rule without havin g to view the source code of the page. Basic HTML knowledge is useful neverthele ss.}}</p>
212
213 <p>{{s87 <em>Note</em>: Element hiding works very differently from normal filt ers. This has the implication that no wildcards are supported in element hiding rules.}}</p>
214
215 <h3 id="elemhide_domains">{{s88 Limiting rules to certain domains}}</h3>
216
217 <p>{{s89 Usually you want to hide a specific ad on one specific site, you don' t want your rule to be applied on other sites. For example the rule <code><fix># #*.sponsor</fix></code> might hide valid code on some sites. But if you write it as <code><fix>example.com##*.sponsor</fix></code> it will be applied on <code>< fix>http://example.com/</fix></code> and <code><fix>http://something.example.com /</fix></code> but not on <code><fix>http://example.org/</fix></code>. You can a lso specify multiple domains — simply separate them with commas: <code><fix>doma in1.example,domain2.example,domain3.example##*.sponsor</fix></code>.}}</p>
218
219 <p>{{s90 If a domain name is preceded with "~", the rule will <strong>not</str ong> be applied on pages from this domain (requires Adblock Plus 1.1 or higher). For example, <code><fix>~example.com##*.sponsor</fix></code> will be be applied on pages from any domain but "example.com" and <code><fix>example.com,~foo.exam ple.com##*.sponsor</fix></code> makes the rule apply on "example.com" domain wit h the exception of "foo.example.com" subdomain.}}</p>
220
221 <p>{{s91 <em>Note</em>: Due to the way how element hiding is implemented, you really can only limit it to full domain names. You cannot use any other part of the address and you cannot use <code><fix>domain</fix></code> as a replacement f or <code><fix>domain.example,domain.test</fix></code>.}}</p>
222
223 <p>{{s92 <em>Note</em>: Element hiding rules with domain limitation can be use d to hide browser's user interface elements as well. For example the filter rule <code><fix>browser##menuitem#javascriptConsole</fix></code> will hide the JavaS cript Console entry in Firefox's Tools menu.}}</p>
224
225 <h3 id="elemhide_attributes">{{s93 Attribute selectors}}</h3>
226
227 <p>{{s94 Some advertisers don't make it easy for you — their text advertisemen ts have neither an id nor a class attribute. You can use other attributes to hid e those, for example <code><fix>##table[width="80%"]</fix></code> will hide tabl es with width attribute set to 80%. If you don't want to specify the full value of the attribute, <code><fix>##div[title*="adv"]</fix></code> will hide all div elements with title attribute containing the string "adv". You can also check th e beginning and the end of an attribute, for example <code><fix>##div[title^="ad v"][title$="ert"]</fix></code> will hide div elements with title starting with " adv" and ending with "ert". As you see, you can also use multiple conditions — < code><fix>table[width="80%"][bgcolor="white"]</fix></code> will match tables wit h width attribute set to 80% and bgcolor attribute set to white.}}</p>
228
229 <h3 id="elemhide_css">{{s95 Advanced selectors}}</h3>
230
231 <p>{{s97 In general, any CSS selector supported by Firefox can be used for ele ment hiding. For example the following rule will hide anything following a div e lement with class "adheader": <code><fix>##div.adheader + *</fix></code>. For a full list of CSS list see <a href="{{s97-link http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selector s/}}">W3C CSS specification</a> (note that not all selectors are supported by Fi refox yet).}}</p>
232
233 <p>{{s98 <em>Note</em>: This functionality is for advanced users only, you sho uld be comfortable with CSS selectors to use it. Adblock Plus won't be able to c heck the syntax of the selector you are adding, if you use invalid CSS syntax yo u might break other (valid) rules you have. Check JavaScript Console for CSS err ors.}}</p>

236
237 <p>
238 {{s100 Exception rules can disable existing rules on particular domains.}} {{s 101 These are mostly
239 useful to filter subscription authors who are extending another filter subscri ption that they

256 <p>{{generic-specific-explanation-p2 We classify a filter to be <strong>specif ic</strong> if it matches one or more domains or matches a sitekey. If a filter has no domains specified (or only domain exceptions) and no sitekey then it coun ts as <strong>generic</strong>. For example, <code><fix>example.com##div.textad< /fix></code> is a specific filter, whereas both <code><fix>##div.textad</fix></c ode> and <code><fix>~example.com##div.textad</fix></code> are generic.}}</p>
