[Request] YouTube channel whitelist feature for AdBlock

Post by rea987 » 2015-08-14, 09:50

Hi all,

I am not sure if I am asking too much but I would like to suggest/request a feature for Adblock Latitude. AdBlock (not Adblock Plus) has a nice feature to allow users to whitelist specific YouTube channel. Thanks to that feature users can support the channels they like by allowing the ads without bothering to disable the extension for every video. Unfortunately AdBlock is currently available only for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. As it seem, developers do not consider Pale Moon due to Add-on SDK incompatibility. I wonder if that would be possible to add YouTube channel whitelisting feature to Adblock Latitude. Thank you. :-)

You can use standard filter preferences to get the same effect but I won't cater or bias the product to any specific site.

Clicking on the ABL Button (or in the Tools Menu) you can Disable on this page only to have ABL automatically add a specific exception filter rule for a specific page or you can write manually a more complex filter to account for youtube channel pages yourself.

Direct Issues and feature requests should be made to the ABL Issue Tracker at its GitHub Repo @ https://github.com/Pale-Moon-Addons-Team/adblock-latitude/issues

Yeah I know it sucks they won't support us (reported this issue to them a while back), this was my very first adblocker to have used on Firefox and Chrome/Opera, before that I used Disconnect. But now I'm happily using Ublock Origin, it's the most flexible adbocker that has ever been created; as they called, a general blocker.

Off-topic:
-P.S. @Matt, I'm going to do a follow up on this discussion on their (Adblock Team of https://getadblock.com/ ) forums/issue tracker as I was the OP and I know more about Pale Moon's situation of add-ons not being compatible if they were written for Firefox 29+. Anyways, just replying back to you here: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=9142
With Pale Moon by my side, surfing the web is quite enjoyable and takes my headaches away! :)
