[chrome] Whitelisting sites globally

Post by svogelsong »

Hi

How do we configure a white list for Adblock Plus within the Google apps for education site where we push the app out> When I go to the app to mange I thought there would be options to white list sites globally but there is not.

You could add on all those systems a new (custom) list hosted on some server (dropbox for example).
When you want to whitelist a site simply add a new rule to that list, so all the systems will "see" it.

rules like:
@@||example.com^$document

The custom list should have a header like easylist for example:
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt

Code: Select all

Great! Not knowing any of the syntax if I wanted to simply allow the site myaccess.com what would that look like? I don;t know what the @@ and so on mean. And in the header the update frequency of 4 days what does that do?

@@ means whitelisting an element / page / whatever
@@||myaccess.com^$document

frequency would be the interval ABP download again that list

How do I push all users to add the custom filter to their adblockplus automatically?
