Automatic filters update interval/frequency setting

Post by Deilan »

Please implement automatic filter update interval/frequency setting to have a capability to set update interval/frequency to something like 24 hour and so on. This is important because with the default setting downloaded filters become out of sync very fast and we have unblocked ads on some sites. And a user have to manually update his filter subscriptions to resolve this kind of issues. Thank you.

ABP tries to be kinder to the bandwidth of the subscription authors' servers than that.

Sadly.It's a critical feature. Absence of it makes ABP inconvenient. Without it one have to manually update subscriptions every day to get rid of ads.

Maybe you will consider to implement that somewhere deep in the settings, so it could be used only by those, who are really in need of it? On the analogy with "chrome://plugins/" for example.
