Optimizing filter lists with Adblock Plus 0.7

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 5:12 am

If used with Adblock Plus 0.6.1 or higher, the EasyList will automatically update once every 24 hours with 0.6.1's built in subscription updater without any action by you or without any other added extensions ... it will also not interfere with any "self added" filtering or sites that you have mark as whitelisted.
