ADBlock Plus - Whitelisting default entries

Post by DonHug0 »

Hello together,

if I didn't catch the correct forum branch I’m sorry in advance. :)

I am currently looking for a way to force the Chrome browser with the ADBlock Plus extension installed, to whitelist certain intern sites.
(We would like to push the whitelistings via group policy to clients and user profiles)

There was a very interesting forum entry (forum/viewtopic.php?t=29880) where the procedure was described well.
Unfortunately it seems, that the post from 2015 does not seem to work anymore.

Is there a new way of doing this? Like via the mentioned “patterns.ini”. Everything I’ve tried so far isn’t recognised within the whitelisting of the extension.

Thank you in advance for your help / guidance!

Hello everyone,

After a digging a while, I've found another suitable way for me, by using the Windows group policies to configure an own filter and exclude the intranet sites inside it.
With this, i don't need editing or configuring any files inside a users profile.
It just requires a HTTPS web server which hosts the company file.

If anyone is also looking for a way, this websites helped me:

File content on server:

Code: Select all

[Adblock Plus 3.1]
! Exclusion - Internal websites

Information from registry hive:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb\policy]
"suppress_first_run_page"=dword:00000001

Maybe it helps someone in the same situation as me. :)
