Cool, good to see other apps adding this. 1blocker has had this from day 1 and adding your own ad list packages that you can share with others.

That's great.

So in 1blocker you can press on an element in a web page and add it to your rule set?

The end result is the same but how you do it is different. 1blocker requires more technical knowledge using the browser inspector to identify elements to be added to the html rule set to be blocked.

Can someone share an example of making one customized rule for content blockers? What elements to look for and what goes in where. That will get many of us started exploring further.
Apps which allow custom rules should come with a tutorial for making custom rules, otherwise you end up with an important feature which is not being used.

This requires more time than I'm willing to spend. Admop's visual editor is a significant technical feat and has the potential to make things much more accessible.

Working fine so far, but bild.de still doesn't work. And I really can't stress enough the fact that without this whole adblocking business I would never enter the site in the first place. Having lived in Germany I got a lifetime dose of it already in my system.

Now that I think of it, was there even supposed to be any development concerning sites that block adblockers? Can it even be done? So many questions, I think I'll have to reread parts of this thread...

Having an issue with Purify on some pages. After the pages load, as you scroll at times it can be jerky. This doesn't happen with my other ad blockers. I've gone back and forth with the others to verify this issue. I really notice this on Amazon.
