Manual Filter List File Location

Post by AlexCamden »

I migrated to a new hard drive recently and just realized adblock does not have all my custom/manual filters i have added to it. I still have my old hard drive with my files on it, is there a text file with all my custom filters that i can copy and past into my new computer? Or is this list not saved locally?https://discord.software/ fetlife vshare

Adblock Plus on Chrome stores filters using the browser's extension storage. That's because Chrome extensions don't have access to the file system which is why there's no dedicated file for it. However, in your Chrome user directory, you should be able to find Chrome's LevelDB database files (.ldb) in which it stores the extension data.

While I haven't tried it myself yet, you should be able to get to that data contained with those database files with a LevelDB client. Alternatively, you could try copying over all "cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb" directories to your new Chrome user directory and see whether it works.
