Allow custom filter lists for the native adblocker
Steps to reproduce:
- Install "I don't care about cookies" extension
Expected behavior:
- If you visit websites like
google.comoryoutube.com, the extension should automatically remove the "Accept cookie" banners, but it doesn't do anything.
Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Version 0.99.122-beta (WebKit 615.1.11.7)
MacBook Pro (macOS Ventura 13.1 build 22C65)
Brrrrrra This extension ironically is sold to a tracking company. Threre's "I still don't care about cookies" that is being what "I don't care about cookies" once used to be.
Interesting, I didn't know about "I still don't care about cookies". I've tried it as well, and it seems like it still doesn't work?
These extensions for blocking cookies pop-up don't work. I've tried so many of them! As I've said, the only solution in my opinion is to add the following list in Orion's adblock: EasyList Cookie List.

It could be tested to see if it works. I consider it a better solution... as long as it works

Both of these seem to work. The former has the performance issues we discussed and made a separate bug tracker for.
Firefox are also working on something that may be useful or of interest - https://github.com/mozilla/cookie-banner-rules-list
Brave seems to be using the easy-cookie list.
This surfaced as well https://www.super-agent.com
There seems to be a subtle difference between blocking cookie notices and approving them.
For the case I can see on your picture I use "Make ReCaptcha's "I'm not a robot" accurate" Firefox extension. Of course I can't guarantee it would work on Orion. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/make-recaptcha-text-accurate/
I still don't care about cookies was intended (as far as I see it) for removing banners at the bottom of the webpage that claims that it uses cookies.
Any update on when this will ship @Vlad ? Orion blocks cookie consent dialogs by default so having the ability to customise filter lists would prevent that behaviour (I know this has been discussed before).
Anatomy5803 Planned for 126
Vlad Vivaldi on iOS has an extremely slick implementation of this. I think Orion could just copy it.
Would this support blocking visual (DOM) elements as well, or just network blocking?
This is a thread just for custom block lists. We will plan to have this for 127.

Vlad I'm asking because some of these filter lists also contain DOM filtering rules, for example:
play.google.com#@#div[aria-label="Ads"]https://github.com/easylist/easylist/blob/master/easylist/easylist_allowlist_general_hide.txt
I'm not sure if this is something Orion already supports or not because the current content blocking implementation is kind of a black box to me. But allowing configurable lists would allow adding some of these rules, so I'm wondering if this will work out of the box, or is it a separate feature.
Is a custom whitelist/allowlist also planned as part of this implementation?
