URL shortener custom filter list does not work
Closed this issue · 1 comments
A privacy focused custom filter list https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt from https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt does not work. It can be added in brave://adblock, but it does nothing.
I added it in UBO, and it shortens or removes tracking parameters in a URL (it works in brave UBO extension). You can experiment/try it on these sites DandelionSprout/adfilt#163 (comment).
The issue is slightly related to #166.
I think the current brave ad blocker can only make changes to webpage scripts/elements, but cannot do it to URL's in url/address bar.
Since removeparam feature has been added on brave stable, above filter list seems to work to some extent. There are some problems with few removeparam rules, but they will eventually get sorted out.
Therefore, I am closing this issue.
