Comments on 0.10 Final
Very nice release!
I noticed the BFilter homepage has been updated, and I love it. Doing a test run with this new version, and I've found one thing: -When running BFilter for the first time after installation, in the Log, I am seeing: Quote:Loading config ... done Other than that, I notice that it's very fast, and has built in blocklists I guess Proxomitron users will just have to get used to the different filter language BFilter uses for its filters, but it looks very promising. Great work guys |

You are using an old filter set. That syntax is not supported since pre10. Just remove all the filters except "Remove popups and other annoyances", which is bundled with the software, and is up to date.

Well, having noticed these are your custom filters, I give a more useful advice:
Code: replace_exactly = something Code: replace = something But still you should check out the docs, as there are other changes. For example the url and content_type patterns are now anchored (^ and $ are implied). |

I just started trying out BFilter today. Excuse my ignorance, but the only docs I've seen are for browser settings. I want to know more about the advanced configuration and filters. Thanks... Higgy |

0.10 working very well so far.
Still some annoying flash ads to filter out i.e. on this site http://xrel.dl.am/ |

You probably mean that hover ad, which is not actually flash-based. These things are all but impossible to detect. Of course, you can still block it manually:
Code: FORBID http://viewsys.adcase.de/* |

Hmm,
I tried FORBID http://viewsys.adcase.de/* and FORBID /http://viewsys.adcase.de/* but the hover ad is still there. |

One additional thing:
With BFilter http://www.ebay.com looks different and uses an other bigger font, this also happens with some subsites but not all. |

I can reproduce it in IE, but not in FireFox or Safari. It probably has something to do with scripts running inside BFilter's javascript engine think they are running on a Mozilla-based browser.
I suppose it's not a big problem, but in the next version I am going to add the ability to turn off filtering for certain pages. Something like: Code: NOFILTER http://*.ebay.com/* |
