Hi,
sorry for my bad english. I have the N900 since 2 days. Great phone, of course. I saw picture that many users got run AdBlock on the N900. I want that too. There are two AdBlock versions in the program manager from maemo.org. The ~500KB version without icong is not compatible with microB 3.0
The second program have the AdBlock icon and its version 1.0.2 its old... I tried to subscribe filters and typed "chrome://adblockplus/content/ui/tip_subscriptions.xul" in a new windows. But nothing happend. So I deinstalled it. Than I found this manual: http://browser.garage.maemo.org/news/12/
That worked. I added my advertisment filter abonnement and it was enabled. But... it doesn't work. On all websites was advertisment and it shouldn't be. The sceond problem was I can't add more than 1 abonnements. After i tried to add a second abonnement, nothing happend. Anyway... it doesn't work.
Than I found the Firefox. Wow! It's slow! But I can install AdBlock 1.1.3 without problem! So I went in preferences and add my abonnement. After that:
BAM! No button for a second Abonnement. I only can change my current Abonnement. Why in the hell? This time, Adblock and the filters works! No more advertisment. But the browser is sooo slow And I need my two other Abonnements.
Is there a way to get a working Adblock Plus on microB with more than 1 Abonnement? Thanks!
First: I never used Linux. I know nothing about it. I downloaded OpenSSH Client + Server. After the download it wanted a pasword. So I chosed a password. Than I saw that the root thing and all about that is to hard for me. So I deleted OpenSSH. But I have now I bad feeling that I did something wrong. Is my N900 after deleting OpenSSH like before I installed it? Is the password thng also deleted?
Than I installed rootsh. But I don't need it and I want to delete it. But the N900 don't delete it
How can I delete that program?
Thanks for alle! Great community.
I was the one that created the Adblock Plus package in Extras. Due to issues in Microb, installs don't always work for one reason or another. I decided to try another way and uploaded adflashblock-css which uses a CSS user style to remove ads and stop flash from starting before the user clicks on it. Give it a shot (though the package wasn't made with Firefox in mind).
Is the adflashblock-css only for Flash Advertisment?
Is it compatible with Adblock Plus subscriptions? Where can I find it?
a) No, it can handle pretty much anything that CSS can change on a webpage.
b) No, but if there's some ads you see that get through, send me a message and I'll take care of it in the next version. A vast amount of ads are already killed right now.
c) You can find it in extras-testing at the moment. *standard warning about end users using extras-testing - potentially bad*
Once more people test it out and vote it up, it can hit Extras.
Well... okay.. thanks. But it isn't THAT solution I want. Because my subscription is for german websites. I also add EasyPrivacy for "Tracking Bug" and Malware Domains for known bad websites.
AdBlock Plus was one reason why I chosed the Nokia N900. I hope a working version will released for microB soon :\
