I was surprised to see an update today for Filterset.G when I loaded Firefox.

Brings up a question I had: Can one use FiltersetG and another filter like Rick's EasyList at the same time?

It came back online a week or so ago

You can do, apparently large filter lists can slow down browsing a little. Though I tried Easylist on its own when it looked like FiltersetG was no more and I found it to be pretty poor.

Thanks, JD. What were the differences that led to that conclusion?

I came to the conclusion quite quickly (and went back to my FiltersetG) simply because i started seeing adverts that I just don't see with FG. Noticeably it didn't seem to block the sort of porn ads you get on some dodgy sites (wares etc). Not that I visit dodgy sites of course

I'm glad someone brought it back to life.
I thought I might have to switch to adblock plus in the future and it just never seems to work right for me. (makes a lot of sites load incorrectly).

They updated it again.

Firefox 2.0
Windows NT 5.1
Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.0.4

Same here Rridgely, I can't get on with adblock plus. But adblock combined with filterset g does the job nicely.

I've never noticed anything unusual with Adblock plus.

I've seen it make a mess of some pages, but I'll live without that nuisance as ad banners are even more annoying.

The thing I absolutely can't stand about it though is this image inserted into some pages:

Sorry...I need to expand on my post above: While I haven't noticed any problems myself, I'd like to see what sites others see problems on in case I'm missing something also. Any examples...?

Can I mirror or redistribute Filterset.G?
No, check the License. The Coral CDN provides all the mirroring I need.

Can I modify Filterset.G and post it on the web?
No, check the License.

Filterset.G is free for personal, non-commercial use; all other use must be licensed. No rule nor part of any rule may be redistributed without express written consent.

That is what I don't like about Filterset.G, it's too restrictive. I don't like restrictions.

I've made my own filters which are in the public domain. They are freely available for anyone to use/modify/distribute/hump or whatever you want todo with it. No limits, no bounds, no restrictions. Do what you want with them.
