Block third-party items except from blogger.com

[Gingerbread Guy]

Could someone please help me write a filter? I'd like to block all third-party on blogspot.com, except those from blogger.com.

Code: Select all

*$domain=blogspot.com,third-party

This is what I've got right now. Since Adblock Plus flags this filter as unoptimized, I'd like to specify the exception in it, rather than have a separate exception filter. I had a look at the RegExp documentation, where it says,
"[^xyz] - matches anything that is not enclosed in the brackets."

But if I change the filter as follows, it no longer blocks anything, and the unoptimized warning disappears, as if it's not a (valid) regular expression.

Code: Select all

[^blogger]$domain=blogspot.com,third-party

That's because regexps filters in ABP need to begin and end with the slash symbol /

You might be thinking it will help optimize your filter by combining it into one string, but making your regexp more complex won't help you.
I'd recommend you make a separate but optimised exception instead. Something like this:
@@|http://www.blogger.com/$domain=blogspot.com

/[^blogger]$domain=blogspot.com,third-party

The above filter behaves the same way.

No, I'm thinking it's already unoptimized, so why not reduce clutter by having only one filter instead of two.

Thank you for the reply.

Then why unoptimise it further, making it more complex and worse?
I still recommend you to do the whitelisting instead. It's way easier for you.

You could save yourself some headaches with the latest version of Request Policy.

This should be taken care of now (if you're using the EasyList)
